Negative segregation alloying elements, Cu and Si, make the inner parts of dendritic austenites and eutectic cells get good hardenability. On the contrary, positive segregation alloying elements Cr and Mn make the outer parts of dendrites have higher microhardness. Appropriate combination of the above two types of alloying elements can produce a uniform microhardness and high strength in gray cast irons.展开更多
文摘The combinational use of alloying elements with positive and negative segregation has been shown to be very effective in strengthening the matrix of cast iron. Negative segregation alloying elements, Cu and Si, make the inner parts of dendritic austenites and eutectic cells get good hardenability. On the contrary, positive segregation alloying elements Cr and Mn make the outer parts of dendrites have higher microhardness. Appropriate combination of the above two types of alloying elements can produce a uniform microhardness and high strength in gray cast irons.
