Characterization of Fracture Toughness of As-Cast Si-Mo- Cr Ductile Cast Iron
Abstract: In the present study, a Si-Mo-Cr ductile cast iron is developed by taking three different combinations, viz. Heat-1, Heat-2 and Heat-3 of the selective amount of silicon, molybdenum, copper and chromium. For fracture toughness characterization, the specimens are prepared from the samples in "as-cast" conditions. The value of static fracture toughness obtained from the experiments for the specimen of Heat-2 with a fatigue pre-crack is 54.49 MPa√ , whereas, for …

Optimization Of Mechanical Properties Of 500/7 Grade Ductile Cast Iron (DCI) By Using SMAW: Applications In Reinforced Composites And Thermoplastics Through Taguchi & GRA
Abstract: Welding, a critical manufacturing process, is broadly engaged to join metals and thermoplastics using heat, pressure, or both. This study inspects the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) method to optimize welding parameters and improve the mechanical properties of Ductile Cast Iron (DCI) grade 500/7, a material widely used in high-strength and thermal conductivity applications in aerospace and automotive sectors. Using an L9 OA (orthogonal array), experiments were conducted on nine …

Investigation of Mechanical Properties in Ductile Iron with Alloyed and Unalloyed at Time and Temperature on Austempering
Abstract: Due to the combination of its numerous excellent mechanical qualities, the flexible iron has been used more and more since its invention in 1948. To develop significantly improved characteristics, the unnecessary investigation is being done. The most recent development in the field of flexible iron, or SG iron, is Austempererd malleable iron. At four different temperatures, two different types of spheroidal graphite (SG) cast iron samples with varying copper weight …

Red Mud Particles' Impact on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of AA6005 Composites for Brake Rotor Applications
Abstract: There is increasing focus on utilizing industrial waste as reinforcement in metal matrix composites, driven by the demand for eco-friendly and cost-effective materials in automotive applications. With an emphasis on their possible use in braking rotors, this study examines how red mud particles affect the microstructure and mechanical characteristics of AA6005 aluminum alloy composites. Red mud, a byproduct of the Bayer process, is a good low-cost ceramic reinforcement because it …
