Revealing the significance of the influence of vanadium on the mechanical properties of cast iron for castings for machine-building purpose

cast iron with lamellar graphite, modified with two types of modifiers – FeSi75 and FeSi40V7

determine the effect of vanadium on the mechanical properties of cast iron used for shaped castin

Revealing the significance of the influence of vanadium on the mechanical properties of cast iron for castings for machine-building purpose

cast iron for machine-building castings, modifier, alloying, vanadium, mechanical properties

Use of vanadium in composition of FeSi40V7 within final content in cast iron at level of 0.04–0.078% can be expedient only if it is necessary to increase the hardness of cast iron due to the promotion of carbide formation during alloy crystallization

For further identification of mechanism for formation of properties and their control by purposefully regulating process of structure formation

The results of the study are limited by the ranges of variation of the elements of the chemical composition when choosing the same modifiers
