| Summary: | Fe-C-Al alloy cast iron contains spheroidal graphite in its microstructure that proves to bring
benefits like better hardness, strength, wear and oxidation resistance at room or high
temperature. In this work, various characterization methods have been employed to study the
characteristics feature of Fe-C-Al and Fe-C-Si cast irons. The fabrication of Fe-C-Al was
done by melted raw materials using an induction furnace followed by charged together pig
iron and mild steel with ferro-aluminium as a source of Al at 1350 ˚C. The microstructural
study was performed using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) after
casting process and results showed that less dense graphite produced in the microstructure of
Fe-C-Al cast iron compared to Fe-C-Si cast iron. The results from wear and friction test
showed that the cast iron containing Al has lower wear rate at higher temperature compared to
Fe-C-Si cast iron. |
