Casting materials cracking problems due to thermal stress
Casting materials cracking problems due to thermal stress
(OP)
I am doing some R&D work using cast iron as a high temperature heat store and cycling it between 800-100 deg.C.
Naturally cracking occurs, I assume due to thermal stresses and low UTS of cast iron.
Would anyone have an opinion on the merits of using cast steel or bronze as an alternative to avoid this cracking problem?
Thanks
