Presentation on the topic of cast iron. Classification of cast iron." Gray cast iron is marked with the letters SCh with the addition of a number that indicates the tensile strength of cast iron. For example: SCh15 SCh - gray

Cast iron is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of >2.14% and impurities in tenths of a percent. In addition, cast iron contains impurities in tenths: silicon, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus, etc. In order to improve properties, alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, copper, etc. can be introduced into cast iron.

Types of cast iron

Gray cast iron Gray cast iron is an alloy of iron, silicon (from 1.2-3.5%) and carbon, also containing permanent impurities Mn, P, S. In the structure of such cast iron, most or all of the carbon is in the form of plate-shaped graphite. The fracture of such cast iron is gray in color due to the presence of graphite. Gray cast iron is used for the manufacture of lightly loaded parts operating in light conditions. For example, housings of gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, various covers, heating batteries, etc.

White cast iron White cast iron is cast iron in which carbon is chemically combined with iron. Carbon in white cast iron is in the form of cementite Fe3C - a bound state. Cementite gives shine to cast iron fractures, and graphite gives it a gray color. Therefore, cast iron, in which all carbon is in a bound state, is called white cast iron. Relatively soft and machineable. Softness comes from free carbon.

Malleable cast iron Malleable cast iron is produced by long-term annealing of white cast iron, which results in the formation of flake-shaped graphite. The metal base of such cast iron is ferrite and, less commonly, pearlite. Malleable cast iron got its name due to its increased ductility and viscosity (although it is not subject to pressure treatment). Malleable cast iron has increased tensile strength and high impact resistance. Parts of complex shapes are made from malleable cast iron: car rear axle housings, brake pads, tees, angles, etc.

High-strength cast iron has spheroidal graphite in its structure, which is formed during the crystallization process. Nodular graphite weakens the metal base as much as lamellar graphite, and is not a stress concentrator. In half cast iron, part of the carbon (more than 0.8%) is contained in the form of cementite. The structural components of such cast iron are pearlite, ledeburite and flake graphite. Ductile iron, Half cast iron

Cast iron is widely used in the production of products for various purposes. The main qualities of cast iron are low cost, good casting qualities, strength and hardness. Cast iron is used where it is necessary to obtain parts of complex shapes and sufficient strength. For example, machine beds, body parts or artistic cast-iron fences. Everyone is well aware of the artistic decorations of the embankments of St. Petersburg, made of cast iron. The openwork cast gates of the Winter Palace, as well as other monuments, are no less beautifully decorated. Scope of cast iron

In the automotive industry, engine cylinder blocks are made from cast iron. internal combustion(on modern production use cast iron with vermicular graphite), as well as crankshafts of diesel engines. Cast iron is widely used in plumbing equipment - bathtubs, sinks and kitchen sinks are made from cast iron, as well as heating radiators, pipes and fittings. For example, bathtubs made of cast iron are highly valued by experts for their reliability, durability and ease of use. Such bathrooms can serve for decades, maintaining their original appearance without changes.

Motivation:

Story.

Teacher : The first information about cast iron dates back to the 6th century BC. In China, from high-phosphorus iron ores, cast iron containing up to 7% P (phosphorus), with a low melting point, was obtained, from which it was cast various products. Cast iron was also known to ancient metallurgists of the 4th-5th centuries BC. Iron production in Western Europe began in the 14th century with the advent of the first blast furnaces for smelting pig iron from ores. The resulting cast iron was used either for conversion into steel in a forge, or for the manufacture of various construction parts and weapons (cannons, cannonballs, columns, etc.).

In Russia, cast iron production began in the 16th century; Subsequently, it continuously expanded, and under Peter I, Russia surpassed all countries in the production of cast iron, but a century later it again lagged behind Western European countries. The appearance of cupola furnaces in the second half of the 18th century allowed foundries to separate from blast furnaces, i.e. marked the beginning of the independent existence of iron foundries. At the beginning of the 19th century, the production of malleable cast iron began. In the second quarter of the 20th century, alloying of cast iron began to be used, which made it possible to significantly increase its properties and obtain special cast iron (wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, etc.).

In your specialty you can also find the use of cast iron: Cast iron brake pads for carriages and tenders railways, cast iron gearboxes,industrial motors in a cast iron body, cast iron flanged valves, etc. (slides

3. Formation of new knowledge.

Teacher : Today we will discuss the topic “Cast Irons.” Classification of cast iron." (slide 1)

The ultimate goal of studying today's material is to learn to decipher the grades of cast iron. If I now give you a simple mark SCH 15 - 20 and ask you to decipher it, you don’t even know what you need to talk about. But if you are asked to describe a passerby walking down the street, without seeing him, you know what you should say. (Students list: gender, height, clothing, hair color, gait, etc.).

The classification of cast iron is precisely the algorithm by which the grade of any cast iron is deciphered.

Cast iron is an alloy of iron and carbon, with a carbon content of more than 2.14%. (slide 3)

Pig iron is produced from iron ores in blast furnaces. In addition to the base iron and carbon, cast iron contains small amounts of impurities, as well as specially introduced alloying elements. (slide 4)

Classification and properties of cast iron.

Cast iron produced in blast furnaces is divided into conversion cast iron used for conversion into steel, andcast iron , serving as one of the main components of the charge in iron foundries. Until the 70s. In the 20th century, so-called mirror cast iron (10-25% Mn) was sometimes smelted in blast furnaces, which was used as a deoxidizer in steel smelting and to produce special types of cast iron. When iron ores containing Cr, Ni, Ti and other alloying elements are used to smelt cast iron, naturally alloyed cast iron is obtained.

In the production of castings in iron foundries, cast iron is divided into: (slide 6)

  1. depending on the degree of graphitization, which determines the type of fracture, - on grey , white and half(or bleached);
  2. depending on the shape of graphite inclusions - into cast iron with lamellar, spherical (ductile iron), vermicular and flocculent ( malleable cast iron) graphite;
  3. depending on the purpose - onstructural And cast iron with special properties;
  4. By chemical composition- on doped and undoped.

(The teacher explains the characteristics of steel classification. Students, using the educational element module, build in their notebooks reference diagram)

Let's look at the following types of cast iron in more detail: (slide No. 7)

1.White cast iron obtained by primary crystallization from a liquid alloy with rapid cooling. It is an alloy in which excess carbon, not found in the iron solid solution, is present in a bound statein the form of iron carbides Fe3C(cementite), which gives cast iron a matte white color. White cast iron has high hardness, brittleness and is difficult to process, so it is not used for the manufacture of parts and is used as a pig iron, i.e. goes into the production of steel and other types of cast iron.Half cast ironcontains part of the carbon in a free state in the form of graphite, and part of it in a bound state in the form of carbides. It is used as a friction material operating under dry friction conditions (brake pads), as well as for the manufacture of parts with increased wear resistance (rolling, paper-making, flour-grinding rolls).

2. Gray (foundry) cast iron(slide No. 7) - the most widely used type of cast iron (mechanical engineering, plumbing, building structures) - has graphite inclusions lamellar forms. Obtained by primary crystallization with slow cooling. Compared to the metal base, graphite has low strength. Therefore, graphite inclusions can be considered faults that weaken the metal base. Since lamellar inclusions most strongly weaken the metal base, gray cast iron has the lowest characteristics, both in strength and ductility. The properties of graphite to form lubricating films cause a decrease in the coefficient of friction, which means wear resistance and good anti-friction properties. Gray cast irons are easy to cut and have the ability to dissipate vibrations during vibrations and variable loads. These cast irons are characterized by good fluidity and low shrinkage. Gray cast iron is used as a structural material in construction and mechanical engineering for the manufacture of low-responsibility and medium-load parts.

Marking of gray cast iron:

Letters СЧ – (indicate gray cast iron)

Numbers – tensile strength, kgf/mm 2 ;

Example SCh – 18 – Gray cast iron, 18 - – tensile strength, 18 kgf/mm 2 ;

3. Malleable iron (slide No. 8) are obtained from white by heat treatment - annealing. Which consists of long-term exposure at a temperature of 950 ° C and slow cooling. As a result, the graphite inclusions will take on a flocculent shape. These inclusions are more compact, they cut less into the metal base, and such cast iron turns out to be more durable. He can already work in tension.

Malleable cast iron is used for the manufacture of small and medium-sized thin-walled castings for critical purposes, operating under dynamic alternating loads (parts of drive mechanisms, gearboxes, brake pads, gears, hubs, etc.). However, malleable cast iron is an unpromising material due to the complex production technology and the length of the production cycle for making parts from it.

Marking of malleable cast iron:

Letters KCH – (indicate malleable cast iron)

Numbers – (1 - number - tensile strength, kgf/mm 2

Example CN – 35 – 10 - Malleable cast iron, 35 - tensile strength, 35 kgf/mm 2 , 10 - relative elongation, 10%)

4. High strength cast iron, (slide No. 9) characterized by a spherical or similar shape of graphite inclusions, is obtained by modifying liquid cast iron with additives Mg, Ce, Y, Ca and some other elements. Nodular graphite weakens the metal base to the least extent, which leads to a sharp increase in the mechanical properties of cast iron, bringing their properties closer to the properties of carbon steels, while maintaining good casting properties, machinability, and the ability to dampen vibrations. This cast iron competes with carbon steels and is also cheaper than ductile iron and steel. It is used for the manufacture of critical parts in the automotive industry (engine crankshafts, compressors, gears, cylinders, etc.). This cast iron is used to replace cast and forged steel parts, as well as parts made of ductile or regular gray cast iron.

Marking of high-strength cast irons:

Letters HF - (indicate high-strength cast iron)

Numbers –(1 - number tensile strength, kgf/mm 2 , 2 – relative elongation, %)

Example HF – 42 – 12 - Malleable cast iron, 42 - tensile strength, 35 kgf/mm 2 , 12 - relative elongation, 10%)

5. Anti-friction cast iron(slide 10) – are obtained on the basis of gray, high-strength and malleable cast irons.

Anti-friction cast irons are divided into:

  1. based on gray cast iron (AChS -1, AChS -2, AChS -3, AChS -4, AChS -5, AChS - 6).
  2. based on high-strength cast irons (AChV – 1, AChV – 2)
  3. Based on malleable cast iron (AChK – 1, AChK – 2)

Marking of anti-friction cast iron:

Letters АЧ– (indicate anti-friction cast iron)

Numbers – brand number according to GOST

Example AChS – 2, anti-friction gray cast iron, 2 – brand number according to GOST.

6. Alloy cast irons –cast irons into which special elements are introduced to improve the properties of cast irons. (slide 11)

It is used for the manufacture of parts for steam engines and turbines, diesel engines, internal combustion engines, etc.

Marking of alloy cast irons:

Designation of alloying elements: (slide 11)

X – CHROME;

D – COPPER

T – TITANIUM

M – MOLYBDENUM

N – NICKEL

Y – ALUMINUM

C – SILICON

Graphitization process.

Graphitization process
.
Graphite is a polymorph of carbon.
Methods for the formation of graphite in cast iron
- from the liquid phase;
- during the decomposition of previously formed cementite.
Graphitization from the liquid phase, as well as from decomposition
primary cementite and cementite included in the composition
eutectics is called the primary stage of graphitization.
The separation of secondary graphite from austenite is called
intermediate stage of graphitization.
Formation of eutectoid graphite, as well as graphite,
formed as a result of cementite, which is part of
pearlite is called the secondary stage of graphitization.

Forms of graphite: lamellar; globular; flaky; vermicular.

Classification of cast irons

Depending on the state of carbon in cast iron, there are:
white cast iron - carbon in a bound state in the form of cementite, in
the fracture has a white color and a metallic sheen
gray cast iron - all or most of the carbon is in
free state in the form of graphite
half - part of the carbon is in free
state in graphite form
high strength

high-strength – with spherical
graphite
malleable – with flake graphite

Diagrams of cast iron microstructures depending on the metal base and the shape of graphite inclusions

Gray cast iron
Properties
The mechanical properties of gray cast iron depend on
number and size of graphite inclusions. By
Compared to the metal base, graphite has
low strength. Therefore, graphite inclusions
can be considered discontinuities,
weakening the metal base. Because
lamellar inclusions most strongly weaken
metal base, gray cast iron has the most
low characteristics, both strength and
plasticity among all engineering
cast iron Reducing the size of graphite inclusions
improves mechanical properties.

Application

Considering the low resistance of gray castings
cast iron tensile and impact loads, should
use this material for parts that
are subjected to compression or bending
loads In the machine tool industry these are basic, case-based
parts, brackets, gears, guides;
in the automotive industry - cylinder blocks, piston rings,
camshafts, clutch discs. Castings from
gray cast iron are also used in
electrical engineering, for the manufacture of goods
public consumption.

Ductile iron
Properties
These cast irons have high fluidity,
linear shrinkage – about 1%. Foundry voltages in
castings are slightly higher than for gray cast iron. Due to the high modulus of elasticity, it is quite high
machinability. Possess
satisfactory weldability.

Application

Thin-walled panels are made from high-strength cast iron
castings (piston rings), forging cylinders
hammers, beds and frames of presses and rolling mills,
molds, tool holders, faceplates.
Crankshaft castings weighing up to 2..3 tons, instead
forged steel shafts have a higher
cyclic viscosity, insensitive to
external voltage concentrators, have
better anti-friction properties and
much cheaper.

Malleable iron
Properties
Ferritic malleable cast irons (CC 33-8, CC 37-12) have
higher ductility, and pearlite
(CC 50-4, CC 60-3) higher strength

Application

Ductile iron castings are used for parts
operating under shock and vibration loads.
Crankcases are made from ferritic cast iron
gearboxes, hubs, hooks, brackets, clamps, couplings,
flanges.
Forks are made from pearlitic cast iron
cardan shafts, links and rollers of conveyor chains,
brake pads.

Bleached and other cast irons Bleached castings are castings whose surface consists of white cast iron, and the inside is gray or high-strength cast iron.

Compound
2.8…3.6% carbon, and low silicon content
–0,5…0,8 %.
Properties
They have high surface hardness (950…1000
HB) and very high wear resistance.

Application Used for the manufacture of rolling shafts, carriage wheels with bleached rims, balls for ball mills. For the manufacture of

parts operating in conditions
abrasive wear, white cast iron is used,
alloyed with chromium, chromium and manganese, chromium and
nickel Castings made from such cast iron are characterized by high
hardness and wear resistance.
For parts operating under wear conditions at high
temperatures, use high-chromium and
chromium-nickel cast iron. Heat resistance is achieved
alloying cast iron with silicon (5…6%) and aluminum (1…2
%). Corrosion resistance is increased by alloying
chromium, nickel, silicon.
Can be used for cast iron heat treatment.

Marking of cast iron

KCh30-6
SCH15

Gray cast iron is marked with the letters SCH with the addition of a number that indicates the tensile strength of cast iron. For example: SCh15 SCh – gray

Gray cast iron is marked with the letters СЧ с
by adding a number that indicates
tensile strength of cast iron at
stretching
For example: SCH15
SCh – gray cast iron;
15 - tensile strength
σв=150 MPa.

Malleable cast iron is marked with the letters KCH and numbers. The first two digits indicate the tensile strength, and the second relative elongation

Malleable cast iron is marked with the letters KCH and
in numbers. The first two digits indicate
tensile strength, and
second relative elongation at
stretching
For example: KCH30-6
KCh – malleable cast iron;
30 - tensile strength
σв=300 MPa;
6 - relative elongation at
stretching δ=6%.

Ductile iron is marked with the letters HF and numbers. The first two digits indicate the tensile strength, and the second relative strength

Ductile iron is marked
letters HF and numbers. First two
numbers indicate tensile strength
stretching, and the second relative
tensile elongation.
For example: HF35-22
HF – high-strength cast iron;
35 - tensile strength
σв=350MPa;
22 - relative elongation at
stretching δ=22%.
