In hypereutectic nodular cast irons, primary precipitation of graphite may lead to graphite flotation in thick section castings. Graphite degeneracy such as so-called exploded graphite is then often associated with this flotation phenomenon and it appears as precipitates where the nodular form is replaced by star-like or flower-like shape. It has been reported that exploded graphite …

This manuscript summarizes recent investigation of the authors into the solidification and shrinkage defect formation of ductile and compacted graphite cast irons. The study makes use of the DAAS (direct austempering after solidification) technique, developed earlier by some of the authors, to reveal the solidification grains. In addition, color metallography is used to reveal …

Graphite formation in the solid state is both in ductile cast irons and in steels strongly promoted by high silicon contents above 3 wt.% Si. The matrix microstructure in austempered ductile iron can be further refined by secondary graphite if the austenitization, quench, and isothermal transformation into ausferrite are preceded by an austenitization at a slightly higher …

Indeed, the ductile iron foundry, which truthfully claims not to have shrinkage concerns is the exception to the rule. Other common defects may be divided into two basic categories: -Those related to nodule shape and size, such as compacted graphite structures, exploded and chunky graphite, graphite floatation, spiky graphite and nodule alignment.

Spheroidal and vermicular graphite were observed in the ductile cast iron with spheroidizing treatment. Flake graphite was observed in the same cast iron without the spheroidizing treatment. The spheroidal graphite had a three-fold internal structure, with an amorphous-like central region, annual rings of a layered intermediate region, and an outer

Chunky graphite, CHG, is one of the most deleterious graphite degenerations in thick-walled ductile-iron cast-ings. CHG normally appears in the thermal center of large castings, and decreases the mechanical properties, in particular the tensile and fatigue strength and elonga-tion.

Compacted graphite (CG) irons are a range of cast irons having mechanical properties intermediate between those of grey and ductile irons. Under the microscope the graphite appears as short, thick flakes with rounded ends, readily distinguished from true flake graphite.

Graphite is a hexagonal-closepack form of carbon that can grow in both the liquid and solid forms of iron. In theory, in irons above the eutectic composition of carbon, the graphite first nucleates in the liquid, and then continues to grow in the solid. In irons below the eutectic composition, the graphite does not start

Spheroidal graphite cast iron (SGI), also known as ductile iron exhibits favorable ductility over other cast irons due to nodular graphite precipitations; however, in heavy section ductile iron castings or in whole SGI castings with higher alloying content, graphite degeneration can be observed, which is known as chunky graphite (CHG).

As a matter of fact, hypereutectic cast irons are commonly employed with however some limitations in case of heavy-section castings where some graphite flotation should be avoided. The results obtained in the present work show an optimal composition for minimising shrinkage that corresponds to slightly hypereutectic alloys.
