Influence of Work Media on Surface Property of Compacted Graphite Cast Iron Processed by Laser Local Processing

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to enhance surface property of brake materials, compacted graphite cast iron (CGI) with non-smooth surface was processed by laser local processing. This study focuses on the influence of the work media on wear resistance and thermal fatigue resistance of specimens. The results showed that when the work media were air and water respectively, laser local processing could enhance surface property of CGI. Changing work media could not change phase compositions of the laser processing area, but refined their microstructures, which enhanced their micro-hardness. By this way, the specimens’ wear resistance and resistance to thermal crack initiation were further improved, while their resistance to thermal crack propagation was influenced by cracks on bionic units.
