DeGra - Degenerated graphite in cast iron with spheroidal graphite

Evaluation of the influence of degenerated graphite on the cyclic material behavior of cast iron with spheroidal graphite for thick-walled components

DeGra - Assessment of the influence of degenerated graphiteon the cyclic material behavior of cast iron with spheroidal graphite for thick-walled components

In a project funded by the BMWi, the interacting influences of solidification time, silicon and interfering element contents of different cast iron alloys on the effect on the type and extent of graphite degeneration are being comprehensively investigated. A prediction model for graphite formation depending on the influencing factors is to be created.

Furthermore, the effects of interactions of interfering elements that lead to the elimination of graphite degeneration in spheroidal graphite cast iron will be investigated.

At the end of the project, recommendations for action should be available to prevent the formation of degenerated graphite.
