Effect of Moulding Sand Thermal Capacity on Morphology of Carbide Phase in High-Chromium Cast Iron

The paper gives mathematical description of relationships between some selected stereological parameters of carbide phase in ferritic high-chromium cast iron containing 2.2 % C and 22 % Cr and the thermal capacity C of moulding sands [J/m3K]. It has been observed that the degree to which changes in the thermophysical parameters of moulding sand affect structure of the examined alloy depends strongly on the casting wall thickness
