  1. 1. Tribological Performance of Ferritic Nitrocarburizing (FNC) Treated Automotive Brake Discs

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell Produktion

    Author : Chandan Kumar Ravindra Reddy; Shanmukharaj Jayasankar; [2021]
    Keywords : Tribology; Gray Cast Iron; Ferritic NitroCarburized; Coefficient of Friction; Wear.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The increase of electric vehicles in the market demands the automotive industries to search for better brake disc material with high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and longer service life. The GCI brake discs, a traditionally used material that has less wear and corrosion resistance. READ MORE

  3. 2. Variations in material properties of grey cast iron and its impact on tool wear

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell Produktion

    Author : Andreas Söderholm; [2021]
    Keywords : Grey cast iron; hard inclusions; tool wear; machinability; graphite structure.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Among cast materials, grey cast iron and ductile iron makes up about three quarters of all cast parts. This makes the manufacturing and machining of grey cast iron an important economical factor for the automotive industry. READ MORE

    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

  5. 4. Experimental Study of Metallic Surfaces Exposed to Cavitation

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Marcio Freitas De Abreu; [2018]
    Keywords : cavitation; cylinder liner; lamellar gray cast iron; erosion pitting; graphite class; cavitation;

    Abstract : Cylinder liners in heavy-duty truck engines are subjected to intense vibrations and may sustain damage from the cavitation of bubbles in the coolant liquid, with some risks of leakage and engine breakdown. An ultrasonic oscillating probe was used to simulate the pitting rates and behavior of samples extracted from cylinder liners, which are made of grey cast iron, with differences in surface roughness, glycol and inhibitor content in coolant, coolant temperature and graphite flake class; bainitic microstructures were also tested.

  6. 5. Impact Acoustic Testing for Classification of CGI Mechanical and Material properties

    University essay from KTH/Industriell produktion

    Author : Zegeye Eshetu Tefera; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Automotive industries have been putting extensive effort into producing engine materials considering resistance and weight of the engine material. This material should withstand higher combustion pressure and in the meantime should be lighter. Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) is a material that could allow achieving these design requirements.
