Role of the preliminary heat treatment in anisothermic eutectoid change of the cast iron
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Preliminary heat treatment, preceding continuous cooling of the iron casting, assumed in the research, complies with the applied in prac-tice single normalization, double normalization or normalization with slow cooling. In each of these cases continuous cast iron cooling has been begun from the same temperature 925°C. CCT diagrams have been made with use of metallographic method. The mechanism, kinet-ics and the final structure of eutectoid change of the cast iron after such treatment have been traced.

Mechanism of carbon influence on the transition from graphite to cementite eutectic in cast iron
In this work an analytical solution is used to explain mechanism of carbon influence on the transition from graphite to cementite eutectic in cast iron. It is found that this transition can be related to (1) the nucleati...
