Preliminary Results on Microstructural, Chemical and Wear Analyze of New Cast Iron with Chromium Addition

Abstract:

A new cast-iron material was obtained by melting in an induction furnace. The material was microstructural and chemical characterized before and after a wear test. We analyze the chemical composition of the material at macro-scale using a Spark Spectrometer and at micro-scale using Dispersive Energy Spectrometer. Microstructure before and after the external solicitations was observed using a Scanning Electron Microscope. We also evaluate the influence of external force on the dendrites microstructural and chemical modification.
