The presence of small amounts of boron in ductile iron is reported to have multiple and sometimes conflicting effects on the mechanical properties of ductile irons. The technical literature up until the early 1990’s states that small amounts of boron is a powerful carbide stabilizing element. Boron levels as low as 0.001% (10 ppm’s or parts per million) stabilize pearlite but larger amounts wer...

A single point cutting tool is modeled out of two different materials having desired thermoelectric properties. The material used B4C doped with compositions Titanium Carbide. In the present work, three on both sides made by tungsten carbide. range composition boron carbide (B4C) was selected randomly 0-12.5%, 0-25.4% and 12.5 – 25.4% first half second respectively. simulation process done in A...
