Grey and Ductile Irons
Grey and Ductile Irons
(OP)
I am trying to track down information about producing sound grey and ductile iron castings and I wonder if there is anyone here that can point me in the right direction, I am looking for some literature that is as in depth as possible so I can get down to the bare bones (similar to R.Wlodawer's "Directional Solidification on Steel Castings").
I work in a non-ferrous foundry that mostly works with copper based alloys and there is no-one here that can point me in the right direction, so I thought I would have a stab in the dark here to see if there was a resident expert on irons. I know this is kind of a "studenty" question and it is frowned upon in this forum but I can assure you I am not one :).
Thanks in advance!

Hi Swall, this isn't work related at the moment, but I would like to have the knowledge available if there does come a time when I am working with ferrous material. Steel is very similar to some of the short freezing range alloys I work with so my current skills are transferable. However, with Iron I have no clue where to start. From what I have read so far the alloy acts in such an alien way I want to have access to some credible information.

" Steel is very similar to some of the SFR alloys" . Yes, but remember the temperatures are in 1600C region, that pose severe restrictions and conditions.
Welcome to the ferrous metallurgy world!!
