Abstract

The influence of melting temperatures on cast iron. by Tanimura, Hiromu, ; Any cast iron, even if high in carbon and silicon, can be converted into white, when melted above a certain high temperatur and cooled with sufficiently high speed.
When cast irons, high in carbon and sillcon, are superheated in this manner and cooled with slower speed, the graphitization always proceeds to a considerable degree, and the resulting irons are very much softer and ferritic than irons, melted at lower temperature The author gave theoretical explanations on these problems and threw some light on special phenomena which take place in superheated cast irons.
