The Role of the Primary Structure in the Formation of the Mechanical Properties of Steel Castings

The paper considers the total effect of primary structure parameters on steel mechanical properties depending on the wall thickness of castings. It is shown that during the formation of mechanical properties with an increase in the thickness of the work-piece, the role of the sizes of primary grains decreases and the role of reducing the dispersion of dendritic crystals increases, due to the process of dendritic branches coarsening.
