Overview of cast iron Iron with 1.7 to 4.5% carbon and 0.5 to 3% silicon Lower melting point and more fluid than steel (better castability) Low cost material usually produced by sand casting A wide range of properties, depending on composition & cooling rate Strength Hardness Ductility Thermal conductivity Damping capacity

Iron carbon diagram   Liquid + L Austenite Carbon Cast Iron Steel L + Fe3C Austenite 910˚C  + Fe3C  +  723˚C  + Fe3C 0% 0.8% ~2% ~3% 3

Production of cast iron Pig iron, scrap steel, limestone and carbon (coke) Cupola Electric arc furnace Electric induction furnace Usually sand cast, but can be gravity die cast in reusable graphite moulds Not formed, finished by machining 4

Types of cast iron Grey cast iron - carbon as graphite White cast iron - carbides, often alloyed Ductile cast iron nodular, spheroidal graphite Malleable cast iron Compacted graphite cast iron CG or Vermicular Iron 5

Effect of cooling rate Slow cooling favours the formation of graphite & low hardness Rapid cooling promotes carbides with high hardness Thick sections cool slowly, while thin sections cool quickly Sand moulds cool slowly, but metal chills can be used to increase cooling rate & promote white iron 6

Effect of composition A CE over 4.3 (hypereutectic) leads to carbide or graphite solidifying first & promotes grey cast iron A CE less than 4.3 (hypoeutectic) leads to austenite solidifying first & promotes white iron 7

Grey cast iron Flake graphite in a matrix of pearlite, ferrite or martensite Wide range of applications Low ductility - elongation 0.6% Grey cast iron forms when Cooling is slow, as in heavy sections High silicon or carbon 8

Typical properties Depend strongly on casting shape & thickness AS1830 & ASTM A48 specifies properties Low strength, A48 Class 20, Rm 120 MPa High carbon, 3.6 to 3.8% Kish graphite (hypereutectic) High conductivity, high damping High strength, A48 Class 60, Rm 410 MPa Low carbon, (eutectic composition) 9

Graphite form Uniform Rosette Superimposed (Kish and normal) Interdendritic random Interdendritic preferred orientation See AS5094 “designation of microstructure of graphite” 10

Matrix structure Pearlite or ferrite Transformation is to ferrite when Cooling rate is slow High silicon content High carbon equivalence Presence of fine undercooled graphite 11

Properties of grey cast iron Machineability is excellent Ductility is low (0.6%), impact resistance low Damping capacity high Thermal conductivity high Dry and normal wear properties excellent 12

Applications Engines Brake drums, clutch plates Cylinder blocks, liners, Brake drums, clutch plates Pressure pipe fittings (AS2544) Machinery beds Furnace parts, ingot and glass moulds 13

Ductile iron Inoculation with Ce or Mg or both causes graphite to form as spherulites, rather than flakes Also known as spheroidal graphite (SG), and nodular graphite iron Far better ductility than grey cast iron See AS1831 14

Microstructure Graphite spheres surrounded by ferrite Usually some pearlite May be some cementite Can be hardened to martensite by heat treatment 15

Production Composition similar to grey cast iron except for higher purity. Melt is added to inoculant in ladle. Magnesium as wire, ingots or pellets is added to ladle before adding hot iron. Mg vapour rises through melt, removing sulphur. 16

Verification Testing is required to ensure nodularisation is complete. Microstructural examination Mechanical testing on standard test bars (ductility) Ultrasonic testing 17

Properties Strength higher than grey cast iron Ductility up to 6% as cast or 20% annealed Low cost Simple manufacturing process makes complex shapes Machineability better than steel 18

Applications Automotive industry 55% of ductile iron in USA Crankshafts, front wheel spindle supports, steering knuckles, disc brake callipers Pipe and pipe fittings (joined by welding) see AS2280 19

Malleable iron Graphite in nodular form Produced by heat treatment of white cast iron Graphite nodules are irregular clusters Similar properties to ductile iron See AS1832 20

Microstructure Uniformly dispersed graphite Ferrite, pearlite or tempered martensite matrix Ferritic castings require 2 stage anneal. Pearlitic castings - 1st stage only 21

Annealing treatments Ferritic malleable iron Depends on C and Si 1st stage 2 to 36 hours at 940˚C in a controlled atmosphere Cool rapidly to 750˚C & hold for 1 to 6 hours For pearlitic malleable iron Similar 1st stage above (2 - 36 h at 940˚C) Cool to 870˚C slowly, then air cool & temper to specification Harden and temper pearlitic iron for martensitic castings 22

Properties Similar to ductile iron Good shock resistance Good ductility Good machineability 23

Applications Similar applications to ductile iron Malleable iron is better for thinner castings Ductile iron better for thicker castings >40mm Vehicle components Power trains, frames, suspensions and wheels Steering components, transmission and differential parts, connecting rods Railway components Pipe fittings AS3673 24

Joining cast iron Welding Braze-welding Brazing Soldering Mechanical connections 25

Weldability White cast iron - not weldable Small attachments only Grey cast iron - low weldability Welding largely restricted to salvage and repair Ductile and malleable irons - good weldability (inferior to structural steel) Welding increasingly used during manufacture 29

White cast iron White fracture surface No graphite, because carbon forms Fe3C or more complex carbides Abrasion resistant Often alloyed Australian Standard DR20394 “Wear resistant white cast irons” 34

Effects of alloy elements Promote graphite (Si, Ni) Promote carbides (Cr) Affect matrix microstructure Ferrite, pearlite, martensite or austenite Corrosion resistance (Cr) Specific effects 35

High chromium irons 12 to 28% chromium Less effect on hardenability than in steels Mo, Ni, Mn, and Cu also added for hardenability to give martensite 41

Ni-hard irons Grinding balls 1-2.2 Si, 5-7 Ni, 7-11 Cr M7C3 eutectic carbides in martensite 43

Abrasion resistant irons Pearlitic white irons Cheap but wear more quickly Martensitic white irons More expensive but better wearing ASTM A532-75A 48

Can be heat treated Stress relief up to 700˚C Tempering of martensite Subzero treatment to remove retained austenite Annealing for machining followed by QT 49

Microstructures Pearlite and ferrite in Fe3C matrix Austenite / martensite in Fe3C matrix M7C3 in a martensite matrix 50

Abrasion resistance Depends on cast iron Depends also on abrasive and environment Eg Silicon carbide wears martensitic and pearlite equally Silica wears martensitic irons much less than pearlitic ones 51
