MECHANICAL AND MICROSTRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF DUCTILE IRON PRODUCED FROM FUEL - FIRED ROTARY FURNACE
The work compared the mechanical and microstructural properties of ductile iron produced in a locally manufactured fuel- fired rotary furnace with ASTM A 536 65-45-12, with a view to standardizing the produced ductile iron. Sets of low alloyed ductile iron were produced in form of keel Y-block inside green sand mould, using a rotary furnace of 100 kg capacity. The base alloy was treated with...
