Ultrasonic cavitation erosion of nodular cast iron with ferrite–pearlite microstructure

Modeling of Ultrasonic Testing for Inspection of Nodular Cast Iron Insert

Nodular cast iron insert will be used as the inner component of nuclear fuel disposal canister. The outer cover of the canister is copper tube of 50 mm nominal thickness. Nodular cast iron insert is cast around several steel channels, which also strengthen the structure. The mechanical properties of the cast iron insert will be tested according EN-1563 /1/. According the specifications 100% NDT...

Failure Analysis of a Four Cylinder Diesel Engine Crankshaft Made From Nodular Cast Iron

The premature breakage in some four cylinder diesel engine crankshafts was reported. All crankshafts were failed from the same region. Failures had occurred in the first crankpin, the nearest crankpin to the flywheel. Dynamic analysis and finite element modelling were carried out to determine the state of stress in the crankshaft. FEM results revealed that the first crankpin fillet is the most ...

Comparison of cavitation erosion rate with liquid impingement erosion rate

Both cavitation erosion and liquid impingement erosion are phenomena that can cause pipe wall thinning in power plants. The Code for Power Generation Facilities, Rules on Pipe Wall Thinning Management, was published by the JSME (Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers) in 2005. The code says that cavitation erosion shall be prevented either in the design stage or by daily inspection. On the other...
