The object of this study is to find out the segregation of Si, Mn, Cu, Mg, etc. which are contained in cast iron, pig iron or noduler cast iron. The detection of the segregation of such elements is made on the transverse section of the round or wedge shaped specimen of those irons by means of a Carl Zeiss Qu 24 type quality spectrograph. And this is done under a certain measuring condition and by the usc of a fixed line pairs of quantitative spectrographic analysis.
Either pure zink or silver was used for a counter electrode when we made the local spectrographic analysis.
The results we obtained are summarized as follows :
(1) The structure of cast iron changes as the solidifying rate changes, and it also has an influence upon the luminecent source, and shows the result as it were the segregation of the specimen.
(2) The structure brings about a great change to the analysis values of Si in inverse proportion to the solidifying rate, showing “inverse V or W” type segregation curve.
(3) It seems that Mn, Cu and Mg containing in pig iron or cast iron will be given a little influence by the structure, though they are not so clear as Si. Therefore, it is suggested that the spectroscopic analysis of pig iron or cast iron should be done after distinguishing the structure of each sample.
(4) It should be noted that some local segregations are found on the parts of inclusions or shrinkage cavities.
