Structures and Properties of Iron Matrix Composites with Tungsten Carbide Particle by EPC-V Process

In this paper the Expendable Pattern Casting with dry sand Vacuum(EPC-V) process is used to manufacture iron matrix composites with tungsten carbide particle.Microstructures of the composites layers were analyzed.The abrasive wear resistance of the composites layers were tested and compared with that of high chromium cast iron.The results show that the iron matrix composites with tungsten carbide particle have high hardness.The abrasive wear resistance of composites with tungsten carbide particle is higher than that of high chromium cast iron.The properties of the matrix materials have been improved remarkably.

真空消失模铸造铸铁件铸型坍塌缺陷成因的研究

对真空消失模铸造铸铁件铸型坍塌缺陷的形成机理进行了系统研究 ,结果表明 :铸型坍塌缺陷的形成是由于铁水充型时 ,其流动前沿气隙内外真空度的急剧下降 ,同时内外受力失去平衡 ,造成干砂向气隙内流动而引起的。提出了铸型坍塌缺陷的力学关系式 ,通过变速箱体的实验室和现场浇注试验 ,证明了上述坍塌缺陷形成机理和力学关系式的正确性。
