In Sweden, high level radioactive waste will be disposed of in a canister with a copper outer and a cast iron or carbon steel inner. If the iron insert comes into contact with anoxic geological water, anaerobic corrosion leading to the generation of hydrogen will occur. This paper presents a study of the anaerobic corrosion of carbon steel and cast iron in artificial Swedish granitic groundwate...

Amounts of iron released from iron pots vary from meal to meal. The effects of salt, pH, and organic acids as iron chelators were studied. Maize (corn) porridges were prepared in a cast iron pot from maize flour and 12 aqueous solutions with different pH (3.7 or 7.2), salt contents (0% or 0.5% NaCl), and organic acids (1% lactate, 1% citrate, or none). Salt had no effect, but acidic pH or organ...

Kinetics of gray cast iron strengthening at room and elevated temperature (100°C, 182°C and 285°C) were studied using 100 specimens cast from one industrial heat of gray iron. Tensile strength and Brinell hardness was measured during age strengthening. Peak aging was observed at shorter times for higher temperatures and over-aging was observed at 182°C and 285°C. Statistically significant data ...

A running-in and starved lubrication experiment is designed to investigate the heavy-duty scuffing behavior of piston ring coatings against cast iron (Fe) cylinder liner using the piston ring reciprocating liner test rig. The scuffing resistance of the piston ring with the chromium-based ceramic composite coating (CKS), and that with the thermally sprayed nickel-chromium-molybdenum coating (NCM...

Based on the calculations of model elementary crystal cell γ‑iron, it is shown that carbon ions cannot be present in its open pores. Carbon Fe‑C alloys dissolves and distributes mainly as graphite nanocrystals. In steel austenite, found nanocrystals iron‑carbon complexes. cast iron

Ductile Cast Iron is a widely used cast iron. iron applications are in various sectors of modern mechanical industries. has wide uses the field car industry, military industries, agricultural equipment, construction and mines. The production ductile faces many technical difficulties our local factories due to difficulty providing equipment technologies for its by common methods. In this study, ...
