Dynamic Coarsening of Austenite Dendrite in Lamellar Cast Iron Part 2 - The Influence of Carbon Composition

Article Preview

Abstract:

Investigation of dynamic coarsening in lamellar cast iron is extended over a wide interval ranging from hypoeutectic to eutectic composition. The dendrite morphology is defined on as-cast samples produced under various cooling rates. The as-cast morphology is considered being close to the one at the end of solidification. The obtained relations describing the coarsening process as a function of local solidification time and fraction austenite are compared to results obtained from interrupted solidification experiments. By using the Modulus of primary dendrite (MPD) and the Hydraulic diameter of the interdendritic space (DHydIP) become possible to characterize the coarseness of a wide range of lamellar cast irons solidified under various cooling rates.
