White Cast Irons with Acoustic Properties

Abstract:

There is the opinion, imprinted by tradition, that only bronze alloyed with tin may be used to build bells, musical instruments or sound transmitters, without the need to bring a scientific explanation. Starting from the physical theory and experimental determination that sound travels only through bodies with elastic proprieties, a study over acoustic white cast iron was proposed. After convincing experiments, it results that white cast irons have good properties for producing and transmitting sound waves. The measurements focused two fundamental aspects, the elastic energy available for producing and transmitting sounds and amortization, resulting that white cast irons can substitute with success bronze with tin or even better properties.
