  2. 1. Morphological characterization of primary austenite in cast iron

    Author : Juan Carlos Hernando; Attila Diószegi; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lamellar Graphite Iron; Solidification; Primary Austenite; Microstructure Evolution; Dendritic coarsening; Compacted Graphite Iron; Magnesium Fading; Nodularity;

    Abstract : Automotive industry products portfolio includes a wide variety of complex‐shaped cast iron products, such as truck engine components, that need to withstand a constant trend of higher demands, especially urged by stricter environmental regulations on emissions. Combined with this continued demand on properties improvement, cast iron industry faces a process problem related to the lack of understanding of solidification and mechanisms behind defect formation.

  4. 2. Study of solidification and volume change in lamellar cast iron with respect to defect formation mechanisms

    Author : Péter Svidró; Pär Jönsson; Pål Schmidt; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lamellar cast iron; shrinkage porosity; solidification; volumetric change; dendrite coherency; inter-dendritic space;

    Abstract : Lamellar cast iron is a very important technical alloy and the most used material in the casting production, and especially in the automotive industry which is the major consumer. Beside the many great properties, it is inclined to form casting defects of which some can be prevented, and some may be repaired subsequently. READ MORE

  5. 3. Compacted graphite iron : On solidification phenomena related to shrinkage defects

    Author : Björn Domeij; Attila Diószegi; Babette Tonn; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Compacted graphite iron; Spheroidal graphite iron; Solidification; Microsegregation; Porosity; Kompaktgrafitjärn; segjärn; stelning; mikrosegregation; porositet;

    Abstract : An improved understanding of solidification of compacted graphite iron (CGI) is necessary to predict shrinkage related casting defects. Spheroidal graphite is not only found in ductile iron (SGI) but usually also in CGI, but its characteristics and role in this material is less understood. READ MORE
