A Novel Material Used In Automotive Industry: Compacted Graphite Iron, Ajit Behera Aug 2012

A Novel Material Used In Automotive Industry: Compacted Graphite Iron, Ajit Behera

Ajit Behera

In recent decades, materials have been a key to increase the performance of automotive parts which leads to development of new materials. The main objective is to achieve increase in quantity and quality of automotive parts produced with optimum performance during their life cycle. Cast iron has remained a competitive material due, in part, to its low production cost. In fact, among the cast iron group, one of the alternatives is lightweight alloys, that is, compacted graphite iron (CGI). Nowadays, it is accepted that CGI can effectively reduce the total weight of an automobile by virtue of its high strength- …

Formation Of A Mineral Layer During Coke Dissolution Into Liquid Iron And Its Influence On The Kinetics Of Coke Dissolution Rate, M. Chapman, B. J. Monaghan, S A. Nightingale, J. Mathieson, Robert J. Nightingale

Brian Monaghan

The formation and development of the mineral layer that forms between coke and liquid iron during carbon dissolution has been characterised. Coke particles (-2mm, +0.5mm) were added to the top surface of an iron 2 mass% C melt at representative ironmaking temperatures, for periods of time between 2 minutes and 120 minutes, before being quenched. The quenched samples were then sectioned and the solidified coke-melt interfacial region analysed in the SEM. Analysis showed that a mineral layer was present at the interface at all experimental temperatures (1450-1550oC) from 2 minutes and persisted beyond 120 minutes. The mineral layer was found …

Now a day materials have been a key to increase the performance of automotive parts, which point out to develop a new materials having better property. Main objective is to achieve increase in quantity and quality of automotive parts produced and for an optimum performance along their life cycle. Cast iron has remained a competitive material due to its low production cost. In fact, among the cast iron group one of alternative lightweight alloys is compacted graphite iron (CGI). Nowadays it is accepted that, CGI can effectively reduce the total weight of an automobile by virtue of its high strength- …
