The Effects of V, Mo, Ni and Cu on the Strength and Thermal Fatigue Resistance of Grey Irons Suitable for High Duty Applications
Abstract:
The effects of adding up to 0.5% vanadium and 0.5% molybdenum, both singly and in combination, on the tensile properties, hardness, relative thermal fatigue resistance and microstructure of grey cast irons, containing 3.2 - 3.6%C (CEV 4.0 - 4.6) have been determined. The additional effect of addiIJ.g copper and nickel to some of these irons has also been examined.
Keywords:
vanadium, grey irons.
