FEATURES MODIFYING VARIOUS TYPES OF IRON-CARBON ALLOYS

The article describes the features of the modification of cast iron, high chrome cast iron and steel. It is shown that the modification of cast iron complex modifier should be based on the thickness of the walls of castings, and for steel and high chrome cast iron, it is beneficial to the macro and microstructure. The data confirming the removal of transcrystallization and size reduction microand macrostructure of castings in various types of iron-carbon alloys. Experimentally proved that in the transition from columnar to equiaxed structure observed increase in the number of eutectic cells, which confirms the position that transcrystallization terminated as a result of nucleation and growth of equiaxed crystalsin the area of concentration supercooling
