  1. 11. Optimisation of local material parameters : Optimising local material parameters in ductile cast iron cylinder head casting

    University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Material och tillverkning

    Author : Katri Mäkinen; [2021]
    Keywords : Casting simulation; Material parameter; Ductile cast iron; Optimisation; Local material parameters; Silicon content; Pearlite; Ferrite;

    Abstract : The constantly tightening emission regulations demand the engines to be moreefficient, to get more power out of smaller engines. Higher engine loads andcomponent temperatures are causing more stresses to engine components. READ MORE

  3. 12. Changes in Gray cast iron over the last century-An initial study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell Produktion

    Author : Puneeth Kumar Shivarudrappa; [2021]
    Keywords : Gray cast iron; age strengthening; and machinability.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis report summarizes the research on the cold aging of gray cast iron samples dating back 100 years, and how researchers looked at the phase history and amount of impurities and trace metals generated by recycling. Initially, the topic of the thesis is introduced, with an explanation and general information on gray cast iron. READ MORE

    Abstract : Today’s transportation highly depends on hydrocarbon fuels, and reducing the weight could help a lot in reducing the air pollutants and carbon footprints in the environment to comply with the strict regulations set by reputable standard organizations in the world. Utilizing lightweight materials in automobile parts is one of the key factors to succeed in meeting the goals defined in the standards. READ MORE

  5. 14. Inoculant measurement with thermal analysis

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Christopher Armstrong; [2020]
    Keywords : Thermal Analysis; Inoculation; Nucleation; Compacted Graphite Iron; CGI; Cast Iron; Material Properties;

    Abstract : Over time the level of inoculant will decrease due to fading and this needs to be compensated bymore additions of inoculant. When casting CGI400 at Scania a one-step method is used, and the inoculant additions are based on the last ladle from the previous oven. READ MORE

  6. 15. Influence of matrix and alloying on the high cycle fatigue properties of compacted graphite iron for cylinder heads

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Erik From; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Continued improvements in combustion processes, introduction of biofuels, decreasing fuel consumption and increasing specific power will inevitably lead to an increase of the combustion pressure, which can be accompanied with a temperature increase. This will increase the loading on many components and drives the development of materials more resistant to the harsh conditions close to the engine. READ MORE
