Abstract:

Laboratory researches of cooling rate influence on matrix structure, composition and quantity of nonmetallic inclusions in iron-aluminum alloys, containing 25-33%Al, are conducted. Thermodynamic modeling of composition and quantity of phases, which were formed in alloy system, containing Fe-Al-Si-C-O, for equilibrium conditions by means of the program complex ASTRA-4 (TERRA) is carried out. It is established, that irrespective of cooling rate the matrix has structure of intermetallic Fe-Al, and nonmetallic inclusions have platelet shape and composite of iron and aluminum oxy-carbides. It is confirmed, that ferroalloy with the optimal structure, necessary for receiving the high heat-resistance cast iron, should be cooled after smelting with the highest speed in these condition.
