master moulds are used to cast copper anode moulds. these iron moulds are made of grey or nodular cast irons. according to desirable properties of ductile irons, it was expected that ductile cast iron moulds could have performed their nominal life. but in service, these moulds have not performed their nominal life and they have experienced premature failures due to warping and cracking. also gr...

An investigation of the friction and sliding wear of gray cast iron against chromium plated cast irons was carried out on a newly constructed reciprocating friction and wear tester. The tests were the first to be done on the test rig under dry conditions and at the speed of 170 cm/min, and variable loads of 20-260 N for a duration of 15 min. to 3 hours. The gray cast iron surfaces worn by a pro...

ni-hard4 white cast iron is excellent wear resistant material and has been widely used in wearaffected equipment operated under extreme conditions, such as in mineral processing, cement, copper and iron manufacturing. in this study the effect of titanium addition (1.2, 0.7 and 0.2 wt.%) to the ni-hard 4 cast iron with the nominal composition of si= 1.5%, mn=0.5%, c=3%, p=0.05%, s= 0.05%, mo= 0....

honing is a process for finishing surfaces to obtain smooth surface. this process is used for finalpolish of inner parts such as engines cylinders. optimizing this process has always been a bigchallenge for mass production of cylinder blocks of internal combustion engines. honing processhas some variable parameters, thus to get their optimum rates the automobile cylinders were tested.in this re...

during the course of our studies on archaeometallurgy in southeastern iran, we tried to survey the triangle of the sirdjān, neiriz and shahr- e- bābak. as a result, remains of old iron mining residues of smelting furnaces, and iron smelting slag heaps were observed and recorded. a few samples of iron ore and smelting slag have been analysed classically and instrumentally. according to the acq...

Nodular cast iron insert will be used as the inner component of nuclear fuel disposal canister. The outer cover of the canister is copper tube of 50 mm nominal thickness. Nodular cast iron insert is cast around several steel channels, which also strengthen the structure. The mechanical properties of the cast iron insert will be tested according EN-1563 /1/. According the specifications 100% NDT...
