Abstract
The addition of magnesium alloy elements followed by a flame-hardening process will change the phase configuration in gray cast iron. This study aims to investigate changes in microstructure and hardness due to these two processes. The addition of magnesium is conducted by adding FeSiMg as a carrier for magnesium. Metallographic examination to observe changes in microstructure was carried out using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). The formed phase is examined by X-Ray Diffraction testing. The hardness test was carried out using the Vickers technique on the surface of the gray cast iron, the nodular cast iron, and the flame-hardened nodular cast iron. Whilst for flame-hardened nodular cast iron, the Vickers technique was also conducted on a cross-section. The addition of the FeSiMg compound changed flake graphite into spherical graphite with increased hardness from 130 VHN to 313.22 VHN. The flame-hardening process in nodular cast iron results in the formation of a martensite phase and the disappearance of graphite on the surface of the material. The hardness on the surface of the material due to the flame-hardening process increased by 82.4% compared to the substrate.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
