Effect Of Boron In Cast Iron, Suyash Durendra Pawaskar Aug 2022

Effect Of Boron In Cast Iron, Suyash Durendra Pawaskar

Masters Theses

"Boron, mostly considered a residual element, has started to cause issues in the cast iron foundries by causing a decrease in the strength of pearlitic gray and ductile iron castings. Because of the increase in the use of boron-added steel scrap from automotive steel and a lack of agreement on the critical levels of boron in cast iron, foundries are facing difficulties in controlling the microstructure of gray iron castings when boron is present. The current investigation was designed to analyze the effects of boron in cast irons and predict a mechanism to understand its effects with a vision of …


On The Investigation Of Hot Tearing Behavior Of Continuous Cast Steel, Yanru Lu Jan 2020

On The Investigation Of Hot Tearing Behavior Of Continuous Cast Steel, Yanru Lu

Masters Theses

”Hot tearing has long been recognized as a major problem that plagues the development of the continuous casting process and results in low-quality products. Understanding of the mechanisms and the required conditions for the hot tearing formation is important for industries but has not been well-established yet. Thus, this research focuses on the hot tearing issue observed in continuous cast steel, by providing a summary of the current research progress and then introducing a new laboratory method to determine the thermo-mechanical properties relevant to hot tearing of different steel grades under different solidification conditions. In this method, an apparatus was …
