Relationships Between Chemistry Variations And The Morphology And Nodular Formation Of Carbon Nodules In Ductile Cast Iron, Donald Francis Cassel Jan 1989

Relationships Between Chemistry Variations And The Morphology And Nodular Formation Of Carbon Nodules In Ductile Cast Iron, Donald Francis Cassel

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to determine what relationships exist between the chemistry and the morphology and nodular formation of carbon nodules in commercially produced ductile cast iron. Additionally, the effects of chemistry on the hardness of produced castings from net shake processes were investigated. According to pertinent information in current literature, the hardness of castings has a direct bearing on the final cost of products.

The method of gathering this information and developing a correlation between the chemistry variations and the morphology and nodular formation was facilitated by the cooperation of a commercial producer of ductile cast iron …
