Characteristics of graphite and cast iron particle dissolution in iron during sintering

Soviet Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The dissolution of graphite in iron may take place with the formation of a liquid phase; the temperature at which this phase appears is determined by the amount of ash impurities in the graphite.

  2. 2.

    The pearlite produced as a result of impregnation of iron with carbon forms discrete fields arranged in directions of preferential diffusion of carbon into iron rather than a continuous zone around the periphery of the impregnation source.

  3. 3.

    The appearance of a large quantity of a liquid phase accompanying the sintering of iron with a high-ash graphite is chiefly responsible for the formation of structurally free cementite.
