The Effect of the Structure and the Heating and Cooling Rate on the Thermal Expansion of Grey Cast Iron
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
The thermal expansion of grey cast iron was studied in six different alloys. The expansion was determined at two different heating and cooling rates. It was found that the expansion was influenced by the heating and cooling rates. The thermal expansion was larger than the thermal expansion in steel and the thermal expansion also increased with increasing temperature. The thermal expansion was theoretically analysed. The temperature dependence was accounted for, by considering the fact that the carbon content in austenite and ferrite increases with increasing temperature.
