CHINA FOUNDRY Nov. 2006 Optimizing hardenability of high chromium white cast iron *SU Ying-long, LI Dan, ZHANG Xue-kun (College of Materials Science and Engineering, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100022, China) Abstract: The formulas proposed by J. Dodd and J. L. Parks for calculating the hardenability of high-Cr white cast iron under continuous cooling condition was recommended. For broader application, some supplements were made to the formula. Through tests on the half-cooling time of typical castings, the compositions of ideal alloys were precisely designed using the Dodd’s formula. Hardness testing of heat-treated castings showed that the designed compositions were correct. The application of castings demonstrated excellent abrasion resistance. Key word: high-Cr white cast iron; half-cooling temperature; half-cooling time; continuous cooling transformation diagram CLC mumber: TG 143.1/TG156.3 Document Code: A Article ID:1672-6421(2006)04-0284-04 High Cr white cast irons possess a combination of excel 17.6% Cr, 0.52%-0.61% Si, 0.75%-3.08%Mn, 0.04%-2.89%Mo, lent abrasion resistance and a reasonable degree of 0.00%-2.09% Ni, 0.00%-1.95% Cu. toughness. The microstructure of high-Cr white cast irons consists lgt = 2.90 - 0.51C + 0.05Cr + 0.38Mo (2) of a composite of large primary and/or eutectic carbides in type M7C3 (where M=Cr, Fe, Mo, Mn, etc.) and a softer matrix. The The validity scope of formula (2) was 1.95%-4.31% C, 10.80%- matrix structure favored in the as-cast irons is predominantly 25.80% Cr, 0.
