The Manufacturing of a Special Wear-resistant Cast Iron Used in Automotive Industry

Influence of Aluminum and Silicon as Alloying Elements on Formation of Intermetallic Phase, Microstructure and Wear Resistance of Gray Cast Iron<strong>&nbsp;</strong>

“…Alloy elements, such as vanadium, chromium and manganese are usually used to increase hardness and wear resistance of gray cast iron, but the finished prices of alloyed cast iron with such elements and the problems of alloying them provide numerous limitations. On the other hand, there is limited information at present about the wear resistance of cast irons in comparison to most of the mechanical properties [13].…”

Influence of Heat Treatment in the Microstructure of a Joint of Nodular Graphite Cast Iron when Using the Tungsten Inert Gas Welding Process with Perlitic Grey Cast Iron Rods as Filler Material

“…The wear behaviour of the joint was also evaluated due to the fact that many tools fabricated using nodular cast iron are affected by wear (ploughs, gears, drums, automotive components, etc.) [6][7][8] and the changes in hardness and microstructure caused by the welding process will affect its wear resistance mainly due to the presence of hard structures of martensite and carbides.…”

Research of opportunities for adaptation of computer-integrated mixture preparation systems to conditions of foundries in Ukrainian enterprises producing wear-resistant cast iron

“…Альтернативу им составляют, конечно, легированные стали, прошедшие соответствующую термическую обработку [1,2], однако изготовление износостойких отливок из стали более дорогостоящее. В связи с этим, актуальным является разработка таких составов износостойких чугунов, которые обеспечивают заданные эксплуатационные свойства, и это подтверждается рядом работ последних лет, выполненных за рубежом [3][4][5]. Однако, как следует из этих работ, основной уклон делается в сторону управления свойствами самого материала, в то время как на качество поверхности не особо смотрят.…”
