ABSTRACTSolidification of a nodular iron casting was simulated by an undercooling nucleation and diffusion controlled growth model. Simulated cooling curves were similar to measured ones but estimating nodular size distribution requires improving the model.

ABSTRACTThis study deals with the solidification behaviour of cast iron with nodular graphite. By measurement of the “apparent shrinkage” the real feeding requirement can be determined under operating conditions. By means of cooling curves and measurements of dilatation the mode of solidification is established. The results are in accordance with today's knowledge of the morphology of crystallisation and offer an operating hypothesis for feeding technique in practice.

The influence of fatigue ratio on the low cycle fatigue damage of nodular cast iron was investigated by measuring the elastic modulus. The results indicated that the elastic modulus of nodular cast iron is a sensitive parameter to the fatigue damage at low cycle. The fatigue damage variable of nodular cast iron increases with cycle ratio. At the beginning and end period of cycling, the damage of nodular iron increases sharply, and in the range of 0.2- 0.8 cycle ratio, the fatigue damage grows gradually.

This work evaluates the ultrasonic scattering attenuation of structures with complex scatterer distributions via experimental and simulation studies. The proposed approach uses experimental attenuation knowledge to infer the scatterer size and its concentration in the studied structures, which are important for the effective construction of simulated models. The MATLAB k-Wave toolbox has been used to implement the simulator. Several cast-iron samples have been used to demonstrate the importance of simulation in the characterization of such structures. First, the scattering attenuation was evaluated using the Truell and Papadakis models, and then the results were compared with experimental ones. Emphasis was given to the Papadakis approach because it takes into account the scatterer size distribution. It is demonstrated that both analytical models provide results that are far from the experimental ones. The developed simulator for the studied samples led to a predictive model, in which the attenuation was proportional to the fifth power of the scatterer size, and the corresponding formulation is close to the one proposed by the analytical models.

The paper presents the new concept of low frictional hybrid composite coatings on nodular cast iron. The structure of it is multilayer and consists of MoS2 and/or WS2 nanoinclusions embedded in the iron nitrides’ zone and relatively deep hard diffusion zone. It offers a low friction coefficient as well as high wear resistance of coated parts. The details of technology as well as the mechanism of layer’s growth have been presented and discussed. The presented technology may be an interesting alternative for chromium-based galvanic coatings of piston rings made of nodular iron using Cr6+.

ABSTRACTBy combining heat extraction laws with kinetic growth laws, the solidification process of nodular, grey and white cast iron have been calculated. The risk for formation of white structure during solidification of grey and nodular cast iron was calculated. The calculations was done for different thickness of the casting as well as, as a function of the number of growing units. The fraction of white structure was also calculated.
