Abstract

This paper presents the results of the effect of Cr in the precipitation of carbides in nodular iron class 100-70-03. In this study was considered the average nominal chemical composition suggested by the ASTM standard and added with content between 0.5 to 3 %Cr. Nodular iron was manufactured in induction furnace using conventional raw materials. "Y" casting blocks were obtained in silicate sand moulds. Thermocouples were placed in Y blocks to obtain the corresponding cooling curves. "Y" castings were cut to evaluate the fraction and distribution of carbides through the casting as a function of the amount of Cr in the alloy. The cooling curves were analyzed so that on the basis of experimental eutectic temperature with the fraction of carbides precipitated by the presence of Cr. These nodular ironThis nodular iron could be applied to CADI manufacturing components with high hardness and wear resistance.
