The effect of electric current pulse on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of hypereutectic high chromium cast iron was explored. The morphology of carbides in solidification microstructure was observed by an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope and the composition was determined by an electron probe micro-analyzer. The microhardness of primary carbides and corrosion resistance of samples were also compared. Under the active of electric current pulse, the microstructure of hypereutectic high chromium cast iron was homogenized and its performance improved accordingly. On treatment by electric current, the morphology of primary carbides changed from thick long rods to hexagonal blocks or granular structures. The interlayer spacing of eutectic carbide decreased from ~26.3 μm to ~17.8 μm. Size statistics showed that the average diameter of primary carbide decreased from ~220 μm to ~60 μm. As a result, microhardness increased from 1412 HV to 1511 HV. No obvious microcrack propagation was found at the microindentation sites. The average length of microcracks decreased from ~20.7 μm to ~5.7 μm. Furthermore, corrosion resistance was remarkably enhanced. The average corrosion rate decreased from 2.65 mg/cm2·h to 1.74 mg/cm2·h after pulse current treatment.

In this work, an electric current pulse (ECP) of 500A was applied on a hypereutectic high chromium cast iron (HHCCI) melt before it began to solidify, and the effect of ECP on primary carbides was investigated. The characteristics of the primary carbides were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), micro hardness tester, and other techniques. The results showed that ECP not only refined the primary (Cr, Fe)7C3 carbides, but also decreased the average content of Cr in the primary carbides. At the same time, the average value of micro hardness of the primary carbides increased by about 84 Kgf/mm2, which contradicts existing knowledge that hardness increases with an increase in Cr content. XRD analysis showed that the crystal structure of the primary carbides did not change. The results of EPMA indicated that the Cr/Fe ratio gradually decreased from the center to the edges of the carbide particles. Further investigation revealed that the uneven distribution of elements caused by ECP led to an increase in defects (including twins, antiphase boundaries, and dislocations). This increase in defect density is the main reason for the increase in micro hardness instead of the expected decrease. The mechanism of the change in primary carbides was analyzed in detail in this paper, which has provided a new method for the refinement of primary carbides and for improving the properties of primary carbides.

It has significant engineering practicability that refining the carbides as hard phase in hypereutectic high chromium cast iron. The high chromium cast iron samples during the course of solidification were treated with electric current pulse (ECP) from the temperature of 1350 °C and 1360 °C. The effects of ECP treatment of starting temperature, processing time on the shape, size, and distribution of primary carbides was investigated. The mechanism of primary carbides refined by ECP process was also analyzed preliminarily.

In this paper, research the hypereutectic high chromium cast iron by the methed of semi-solid method for cooling inclined plate. Influence of cooling rate on size of primary carbides and mechanical property of hypereutectic high chromium cast iron. The results showed that, speed up the cooling speed can effectively refine eutectic primary carbides in hypereutectic high chromium cast iron. The primary carbides was globularity and slug, provided with excellent mechanical properties. But when the cooling speed is too fast, the pouring temperature is too low, so that the liquid metal has high viscosity, poor mobility. there were a small amount of inclusions in the Preparation of casting. Although still generate pieces of fine carbides in the matrix, but the distribution is not uniform. disadvantage of the comprehensive performance.

Corrosion Time

The components in slurry pump suffer serious corrosion and abrasion in the phosphorus fertilizer manufacturing process because they undergo corrosion of H3PO4 medium and impact of particles at the same time. Presently, High chromium cast irons are often used to produce the components in slurry pump. In order to reveal the corrosive law, the corrosion properties of high chromium cast iron with 26wt.%Cr content (Cr26) were tested under different H3PO4 medium concentration conditions. Using back-propagation (BP) neural network, the non-linear relationship between the corrosion weight losses (W) and H3PO4 concentration, corrosion time (C, t) is established on the base of the dealing with experimental data. The results show that the well-trained BP neural network can predict the wear weight loss precisely according to H3PO4 concentration and corrosion time. The prediction results reveal that corrosion weight loss rises linearly with increasing corrosion time. The H3PO4 concentration has obvious effect on corrosion property. When H3PO4 concentration is lower than about 0.5mol/L, high chromium cast iron has well resistance to H3PO4 corrosion. However, the corrosion resistance of high chromium cast iron rapidly decreases when the H3PO4 concentration exceed about 0.8 mol/L. It is suggest the high chromium cast iron be used under the condition of H3PO4 concentration of lower 0.8 mol/L.
