  2. 1. High Temperature Corrosion of Cast Irons and Steels

    Author : Frédéric Tholence; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; high temperature corrosion; cast steel; austenitic stainless steel; SiMo; cast iron; oxidation; exhaust gases; Ni-resist; LCF; ferritic stainless steel;

    Abstract : During the last decades, tougher competition and stiffer government policies have forced the automotive industry into a race for safer, cleaner and more fuel-efficient vehicles at low cost. As a consequence, exhaust systems should resist to increased working temperatures. READ MORE

  4. 2. Oxidation and corrosion fatigue aspects of cast exhaust manifolds

    Author : Madeleine Ekström; Stefan Jonsson; Ulf Olofsson; Babette Tonn; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cast exhaust manifolds; high-temperature corrosion; high-temperature low-cycle fatigue; high-temperature corrosion fatigue; ductile cast irons; cast stainless steel; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Emission regulations for heavy-duty diesel engines are becoming increasingly restrictive to limit the environmental impacts of exhaust gases and particles. Increasing the specific power output of diesel engines would improve fuel efficiency and greatly reduce emissions, but these changes could lead to increased exhaust gas temperature, increasing demands on the exhaust manifold material.

  5. 3. Cavitation Erosion Mechanisms in Cast Irons

    Author : Marcio Freitas de Abreu; Stefan Jonsson; Jessica Elfsberg; Matevz Dular; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : The research presented in this thesis investigated the mechanisms by which cavitation erosion damage develops in lamellar graphite iron (LGI) and austempered ductile irons (ADIs). This has been achieved by image sequences of surface erosion on test samples in tandem with weight change measurements. READ MORE

  6. 4. Thermal Cycling, Creep- and Tensile Testing of Cast Exhaust Materials at Elevated Temperatures

    Author : Christian Öberg; Stefan Jonsson; Henrik Östling; KTH; []
    Keywords : creep; constant-load; thermal cycling; tensile test; cast materials; cast iron; exhaust materials.; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : An exhaust manifold of a truck engine is subjected to tough conditions. As the truck is started, operated and shut down, it becomes subjected to thermal cycling up to around 800°C. At such high temperatures, corrosion, fatigue and creep are active degradation mechanisms. READ MORE

  7. 5. Creep Behavior of High Temperature Cast Materials for Exhaust Applications

    Author : Christian Öberg; Stefan Jonsson; Baohua Zhu; John Hald; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Creep; creep behaviour; creep damage; ductile cast iron; high-alloyed austenitic cast steel; thermal cycling; tensile testing; stress relaxation; oxidation; precipitation.; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on creep of four cast materials intended for exhaust manifolds in heavy-duty truck engines. Two of the materials are ferritic ductile cast irons, SiMo51 and SiMo1000, one is an austenitic ductile cast iron, D5S, and another one is an austenitic cast steel, HK30. READ MORE
