Microstructure of the Synthetic Cast Iron Carburized with Different Types of Carburizers

Article Preview

Abstract:

The cast iron melting process can be based on metallic charge with pig iron or on steel scrap exclusively (i.e. synthetic cast iron). The analysis of the synthetic cast iron microstructure was presented and compared to micros of the cast iron produced on the base of pig iron. The analysis consisted of size and shape of the graphite precipitations and the metal matrix structure, too. The results of examinations and calculations were presented in form of figures and graphite distribution histograms. Based on researches conducted the authors confirmed opinions of heredity of the alloys microstructure cited in the literature.
