Development, investigation and use of wear-resistant high-hardenability white cast irons

Subject of investigation: complex-alloyed white cast irons. Purpose: establishment of influence of chemical composition and structure of white cast irons on their hardenability, wear resistance and mechanical properties; use of the results of this analysis for development of wear-resistant complex-alloyed high-hardenability white cast irons. The work develops methods of calculation of hardenability of steels and cast irons and proposes methods for estimation of the optimum structures of wear-resistant alloys and for calculation of their composition; a series of sections of complex-system constitution diagrams is constructed for the first time. The work develops the composition of complex-alloyed white cast irons and the production processes for using them in manufacture of cast parts and tools with the minimum thermal and mechanical treatment. The results of the work are used in introducing production processes of making white iron castings and cast toolsAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
