Modeling of distribution of visible and non-visible graphite nodules embedded in the surface layer of ductile cast iron

Publication Name: Materials Science Forum

Publication Date: 2010-01-01

Volume: 659

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 453-458

Description:

The graphite nodule count and size distribution are important structural parameters in the quantitative characterization of the microstructure of ductile cast irons. In several cases, it is observed that local surface damages (cracks or microchip formations) are generated by the final manufacturing process (superfinishing operation), and these defects are originated basically from the hidden (invisible) graphite nodules located directly below surface. Based on measured data obtained by an image analyzer, a stereological model and a simulation algorithm have been developed to analyse the correspondances between the graphite morphology and the defect formation. This method makes it possible to establish a correlation between the microstructure parameters and the occurrence of local surface defects on ductile cast iron components. © (2010) Trans Tech Publications.

On the topological characterization of 3-D polyhedral microstructures

Publication Name: Materials Science Forum

Publication Date: 2007-01-01

Volume: 537-538

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 563-570

Description:

To characterize topologically the polycrystalline microstructure of single-phase alloys computer simulations are performed on 3-dimensional cellular models. These infinite periodic cellular systems are constructed from a finite set of space filling convex polyhedra (grains). It is shown that the appropriately selected topological shape factors can be successfully used for the quantitative characterization of computer-simulated microstructures of various types.

Partial electron beam hardening of cast iron camshafts

Publication Name: Materials Science Forum

Publication Date: 2005-01-01

Volume: 473-474

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 447-452

Description:

In order to improve the local surface properties (hardness, wear and contact fatigue resistance) of cast iron camshafts, detailed experiments with partial electron beam hardening have been performed. It was found that the required case depth of 0.3-0.5 mm and surface hardness of 600-700 HV can be achieved by using appropriately selected, computer-controlled processing parameters (angular speed, specific energy input, beam deflection). © 2005 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

Examination of formability of cast aluminium alloy

Publication Name: Materials Science Forum

Publication Date: 2003-01-01

Volume: 414-415

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 15-20

Description:

Ring upsetting has been used to upset AlSi9Cu3 cast alloy in order to examine formability as well as the effect of deformation. Maier scalar quantity, which characterises the stress state, has been calculated. It is concluded that, from the point of view of maximum deformation, ring upsetting tests are more advantageous than simple upsetting tests.
