Effect of Magnesium on Characteristics of Thermal Analysis Curve of Compacted Graphite Iron

The influence of residual magnesium on compact graphite rate and characteristic of thermal analysis curve was studied by fading of magnesium treated molten iron. The results indicate that with fading time, the residual magnesium decreases and the rate of compact graphite increases. The content of magnesium can remarkably change the characteristics of thermal analysis curve, such as the lowest eutectic temperature (TEU) and the recalescence degree △Tr.

A thermal study of thaumasite

SummaryA differential thermal analysis curve of thaumasite shows an endothermal peak at 206° C., correspinding to the loss of H2O and CO2, and a weak exothermal peak at 709° C., corresponding to recrystallization to a mixture of anhydrite and larnite, as is shown by X-ray powder photographs of material heated to 950° C. Improved powder data for thaumasite are given: the three strongest lines are at 9·66, 3·79, and 4·58 Å., and the cell-dimensions are a 10·992, c 10·311 Å.
