The metallographic structure of heat-resistant cast iron is mainly composed of metal matrix, graphite phase and special phase formed by alloy elements. The following is a detailed introduction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ferrite matrix:<\/strong> It has good toughness and anti-growth performance, can remain stable at high temperature, and reduce the volume change and microcracks of castings. For example, the matrix of medium silicon cast iron is mainly ferrite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pearlite matrix:<\/strong> It has high strength and hardness, but relatively poor heat resistance. In some heat-resistant cast irons, the pearlite content needs to be controlled within a certain range to ensure the heat resistance of the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Martensitic matrix: <\/strong>Heat treatments like quenching can produce a martensitic matrix, enhancing the strength and hardness of cast iron. However, due to its relatively low toughness, additional processes such as tempering are typically necessary to improve its ductility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Flake graphite: <\/strong>In gray cast iron, flake graphite weakens the matrix and reduces strength and toughness, but provides good damping and lubricity. In heat-resistant gray cast iron, the size, quantity and distribution of flake graphite will affect its heat resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spheroidal graphite:<\/strong> Spherical graphite in ductile iron minimizes matrix disruption, significantly enhancing strength, toughness, and thermal fatigue resistance. Medium silicon-molybdenum ductile iron belongs to this category, and the spheroidization rate is required to be \u226585%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vermicular graphite: <\/strong>Vermicular cast iron contains worm-shaped graphite, with properties between flake and spheroidal graphite. It offers good heat resistance and mechanical strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carbides:<\/strong> Chromium and molybdenum form stable carbides like Cr\u2087C\u2083 and Mo\u2082C, enhancing hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability of cast iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Silicides: <\/strong>Silicon forms silicides like FeSi and Fe\u2082Si with iron, enhancing oxidation resistance, growth resistance, and strengthening the matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Borides:<\/strong> Boron in heat-resistant cast iron forms borides like Fe\u2082B and Fe\u2083(C,B), improving hardness, wear resistance, and heat resistance.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The metallographic structure of heat-resistant cast iron is mainly composed of metal matrix, graphite phase and special phase formed by alloy elements.
