High-alloy cast irons are an important group of materials whose production should be considered separately from that of the ordinary types of cast irons. In these cast iron alloys ...
High-alloy white cast irons are an important group of materials whose production must be considered separately from that of ordinary types of cast irons. In these cast iron alloys ...
Metal casters try to produce perfect castings. Few castings, however, are completely free of defects. Modern foundries have sophisticated inspection equipment can detect small differences ...
The usual objective of austenitizing is to produce an austenitic matrix with as uniform carbon content as possible prior to thermal processing. For a typical hypereutectic ductile cast iron ...
Nodular cast irons (or ductile, or spheroidal graphite iron) are primarily heat treated to create matrix microstructures and associated mechanical properties not readily obtained in the as-cast condition ...
Ferritic and pearlitic malleable irons are both produced by annealing white iron of controlled composition. Malleable irons have largely been replaced by ductile iron in ...
The high-alloy white irons are primarily used for abrasion-resistant applications and are readily cast in the shapes needed in machinery used for crushing, grinding, and general ...
The heat treatment of gray irons can considerably alter the matrix microstructure with little or no effect on the size and shape of the graphite achieved during casting ...
Gray Irons are a group of cast irons that form flake graphite during solidification, in contrast to the spheroidal graphite morphology of ductile irons. The flake graphite in gray ...
Carbon steels contain only carbon as the principal alloying element. Other elements are present in small quantities, including those added for deoxidation. Silicon and manganese ...
