Abstract

The effects of silicon and molybdenum on the temperature-dependent properties of high silicon and high molybdenum ductile cast iron were investigated. Microstructure was composed of ferrite, cell boundary complex carbide, carbide precipitated in the grain and graphite. The number and size of carbide decreased with the increase of silicon content and increased with the increase of molybdenum content, however, the size of cell boundary carbide increased above 0.81wt%Mo. The room temperature tensile strength increased with the increase of silicon and molybdenum contents. That did not increase with the latter with more than 0.8wt%. Meanwhile the high temperature tensile strength showed the similar trend to that of room temperature one, that of the specimen with 0.55wt%Mo was the highest. The $A_1$ transformation temperature increased with the silicon and molybdenum contents, and showed similar tendency with the variation of strength. It was discussed due to the solubility limit of Molybdenum in ferrite, of which value was assumed to be in the vicinity of 0.81wt%Mo. The weight after oxidation at 1,173K showed the result caused by the difference in solubility of molybdenum in the matrix. That and the thickness change after oxidation did not show any consistent trend with the silicon and molybdenum contents.
