End-Quenching Test as a Means for Assessing the Hardenability of Cast Iron

Аннотация

A method of assessment of cooling rates in quenching of iron, which involves a standard end-quenching test, is applied to castings of VCh50 iron. The approach is shown to be effective for quenching of cast iron with pearlitic metallic matrix, for solving various technological problems and developing chemical compositions of ductile irons.
