INTRODUCTION Under United States law, United States flag vessels must satisfy applicable United States codes, and further, the materials of construction of these vessels must satisfy the material requirements specified in these codes. For vessels manufactured either in foreign countries or manufactured domestically with foreign produced materials , a determination must be made as to whether materials of construction produced under foreign specifications for specific components such as piping and flanges, are acceptable substitutes for materials produced under approved U.S. specifications. I The evaluation process used by inspectors for determining the compatibility between approved domestic material specifications and foreign specifications .is not always uniform. Current procedures often emphasize only chemical and mechanical characteristics and do net always give sufficient weight to such factors as processing differences, weldability, or the effect of location, geometry, and orientation of test specimens on mechanical property measurements 3 In many of the published specification compilations (l-M-)^ ^, comparisons of foreign and domestic material specifications are made only on the basis of first, chemical composition, and second, mechanical property limits. The result of this limited approach is often an extensive but unusable list of apparently equivalent specifications. The absence of a more comprehensive technical analysis of the equivalency or lack thereof necessitates a case-by- case review and the possibility of inconsistent determinations of acceptability PURPOSE A program has been initiated at the National Bureaa of Standards under the sponsorship of the United States Coast Guard to develop a manual of equivalent engineering standards which specifies those foreign specifications or specific grades within the specif ication that are equivalent to acceptable domestic specifications, those foreign specifications or grades tham are not equivalent, and those that would be equivalent if certain additional criteria are met. Results are presented here of detailed technical comparisons between foreign specifications, principally Deutsche Industr ie-Normen (DIN) standards and Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), and selected domestic material specifications issued by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). These comparisons have identified technical areas of commonality, difference, and omission that could have a signif ican impact on component performance.

COMPARISON CRITERIA The process of determining whether or not one material specification is equivalent to another can be complex and is dependent on the evaluation of a variety of factors and a decision as to their relative importance. A finding that two material specifications are equivalent implies that these materials will be interchangeable in their many applications, that is, they will perform in a known manner, even though the specification documents are not principally performance standards Comparing foreign material specifications to domestic specifications is further complicated by differences in the philosophy of specification writing, not only for foreign versus domestic, but different specification styles among domestic specifications. Some specifications are highly specific in listing typical applications or end-uses while others are highly specific in listing end-uses for which the specification does not apply either because of inappropriateness or because another specification covers that application. Some specifications contain hints about the rationale for specific requirements or limits while others provide no guidance. Some specifications

The microstructure and hardness were examined using optical microscopy and a Rockwell hardness tester. Rotational ball-on-disk sliding wear tests were carried out to investigate the wear behavior of austempered gray cast iron samples and to compare with conventional quenched and tempered gray cast iron samples under equivalent hardness. For the austempered samples, it was found that acicular ferrite and carbon saturated austenite were formed in the matrix. The ferritic platelets became coarse when increasing the austempering temperature or extending the holding time. Hardness decreased due to a decreasing amount of martensite in the matrix. In wear tests, austempered gray cast iron samples showed slightly higher wear resistance than quenched and tempered samples under similar hardness while using the austempering temperatures of 232 ◦C, 260 ◦C, 288 ◦C, and 316 ◦C and distinctly better wear resistance while using the austempering temperatures of 343 ◦C and 371 ◦C.

  • AP-42, CH 12.10: Gray Iron Foundries
    12.10 Gray Iron Foundries 12.10.1 General Iron foundries produce high-strength castings used in industrial machinery and heavy transportation equipment manufacturing. Castings include crusher jaws, railroad car wheels, and automotive and truck assemblies. Iron foundries cast 3 major types of iron: gray iron, ductile iron, and malleable iron. Cast iron is an iron-carbon-silicon alloy, containing from 2 to 4 percent carbon and 0.25 to 3.00 percent silicon, along with varying percentages of manganese, sulfur, and phosphorus. Alloying elements such as nickel, chromium, molybdenum, copper, vanadium, and titanium are sometimes added. Table 12.10-1 lists different chemical compositions of irons produced. Mechanical properties of iron castings are determined by the type, amount, and distribution of various carbon formations. In addition, the casting design, chemical composition, type of melting scrap, melting process, rate of cooling of the casting, and heat treatment determine the final properties of iron castings. Demand for iron casting in 1989 was estimated at 9540 million megagrams (10,520 million tons), while domestic production during the same period was 7041 million megagrams (7761 million tons). The difference is a result of imports. Half of the total iron casting were used by the automotive and truck manufacturing companies, while half the total ductile iron castings were pressure pipe and fittings. Table 12.10-1. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF FERROUS CASTINGS BY PERCENTAGES Malleable Iron Element Gray Iron (As White Iron) Ductile Iron Steel Carbon 2.0 - 4.0 1.8 - 3.6 3.0 - 4.0 <2.0a Silicon 1.0 - 3.0 0.5 - 1.9 1.4 - 2.0 0.2 - 0.8 Manganese 0.40 - 1.0 0.25 - 0.80 0.5 - 0.8 0.5 - 1.0 Sulfur 0.05 - 0.25 0.06 - 0.20 <0.12 <0.06 Phosphorus 0.05 - 1.0 0.06 - 0.18 <0.15 <0.05 a Steels are classified by carbon content: low carbon is less than 0.20 percent; medium carbon is 0.20- 0.5 percent; and high carbon is greater than 0.50 percent.

  • Cast Iron: History and Application
    Cast Iron: History and Application Andrew Ruble Department of Materials Science & Engineering University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195 Abstract: This module introduces cast iron along with its varieties and applications. Cast iron, like steel, is composed primarily of iron and carbon. However, cast iron’s composition is near 4% weight carbon, which along with 1-3% weight of silicon, greatly affects the microstructure of the iron and carbon, causing graphite, a crystalline form of carbon, to form instead of cementite (Fe3C). Cast iron is divided into many groups and three are touched upon in this module: gray iron with graphite flakes, ductile iron with spherical graphite, and compacted graphite iron with wormlike graphite. A discussion of properties follows and includes a hands-on activity that demonstrates the vibration damping of cast iron. Module Objectives: The objective of the module is to introduce cast iron, its structures and properties. After a brief history of metallurgy, the module will explain the formation of three types of cast iron, and their benefits. Students will be able to identify types of cast iron by micrograph. Lastly, the module aims to demonstrate the material property of vibration damping through a simple qualitative test. Student Learning Objectives: The student will be able to • Identify cast iron, such as cast iron cookware • Recognize properties which make cast iron useful • Differentiate between cast iron alloys using a microscope • Recognize cast iron through a vibration test MatEd Core Competencies Covered:

    Iron Alloys Joseph S. Santner, American Foundry Society, Schaumburg, Illinois George M. Goodrich, Professional Metallurgical Services, Buchanan, Michigan ron castings are produced by a variety Iof molding methods and are available with a wide range of properties. Cast iron is a generic term that designates a family of metals. To achieve the best casting for a particular application at the lowest cost consistent with the component’s require- ments, it is necessary to have an under- standing of the six types of cast iron: • gray iron; • ductile iron; • compacted graphite iron (CGI); • malleable iron; • white iron; • alloyed iron. Table 1 lists the typical composition ranges for common elements in fi ve of the six generic types of cast iron.

Properties of Some Metals INTRODUCTION The information assembled in this publication has and Alloys been obtained from various sources. The chemical compositions and the mechanical and physical proper- ties are typical for the metals and alloys listed. The sources that have been most helpful are the metal and alloy producers, ALLOY DIGEST, WOLDMAN’S ENGI- NEERING ALLOYS, International Nickel’s publications and UNIFIED NUMBERING SYSTEM for METALS and ALLOYS. These data are presented to facilitate general compari- son and are not intended for specification or design purposes. Variations from these typical values can be expected and will be dependent upon mill practice and material form and size. Strength is generally higher, and ductility correspondingly lower, in the smaller sizes of rods and bars and in cold-drawn wire; the converse is true for the larger sizes. In the case of carbon, alloy and hardenable stainless steels, mechanical proper- ties and hardnesses vary widely with the particular heat treatment used.

  • Mechanical Properties of Niobium Alloyed Gray Iron
    Mechanical Properties of Niobium Alloyed Gray Iron Vehicle Dynamics Aeronautical and Vehicle Engineering Royal Institute of Technology Master Thesis TRITA-AVE 2011:37 ISSN 1651-7660 i Sammanfattning Inverkan av olika halter av niob på de mekaniska egenskaperna vid rumstemperatur (RT) hos gråjärnslegeringar avsett för bromsskivor har undersökts. Niobhalten har gått från 0% i skivmaterial 15 till 0,1% och 0,3% i skivmaterialet benämnt 16 respektive 17. Ett annat skivmaterial användes som referens. Denna skiva benämnd referensskiva innehåller inget niob men 0,32% molybden och har i övrigt samma kemiska sammansättning som de övriga bromsskivor. Fokus i arbetet har varit att undersöka lågcykelutmattningsegenskaperna (LCF) och försök där töjningsamplituden varierats från 0,05% till 0,43% har genomförts på provstavar från de tidigare nämnda skivmaterial. Resultaten visar att vid en belastning på 0,05% klarar alla material 105 cykler vilket har valts som genomlöpare. Vidare framgår att materialet i referensskivan har den kortaste livslängden vid alla andra töjningar. Det är däremot svårt att särskilja de övriga tre skivmaterialen, men genomsnittligt har legeringarna 16 och 17 en något längre livslängd än 15. De genomförda försöken kan inte särskilja livslängden för material 16 och 17 med niobhalt på 0,1% respektive 0,3%. Resultaten indikerar att 0,1% niob kan ersätta 0,3% molybden i denna tillämpning. Försöken visar också att om belastningen huvudsakligen är elastisk ökar livslängden dramatiskt. Vidare är det tydligt att de statiska materialegenskaperna förbättras med ökande niobhalt och brottspänningen (UTS-värdet) ökar med ca 30 MPa om niobhalten ändras från 0,1% till 0,3%. i ii Abstract The influence of adding an amount of 0.1% and 0.3% niobium to the gray iron alloy used for brake discs, these disc materials are called disc 16 respective 17, have been investigated at RT (room temperature).
