Abstract
For the spheroidal graphite cast iron materials, also known as ductile cast iron (DCI), EN-GJS-400-18-LT and EN-GJS-450-18, different welding procedures were examined for potential repair welding. A repair weld was performed on thick cast iron plates using the optimum procedure in each case. The weld was evaluated for all areas of the welded joint (weld metal, fusion line/heat-affected zone and base metal). In addition to the metallographic microstructural analysis, the characterization of the repair weld was carried out by means of hardness distribution measurements, static tensile testing and notched bar impact testing as well as fracture mechanics investigations under static and under cyclic loading in a wide load ratio range. On this basis, a generalized description of cyclic crack growth could be made according to the NASGRO® MODEL. NASGRO® is a fracture mechanics and fatigue crack growth software. In accordance with the possible operating conditions of repair-welded, thick-walled components, the static and impact tests were performed in the temperature range down to \(-\)40 \({}^{\circ }\text {C}\).
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Metalcasting is dedicated to leading the transfer of research and technology for the global metalcasting industry. The quarterly publication keeps the latest developments in metalcasting research and technology in front of the scientific leaders in our global industry throughout the year. All papers published in the the journal are approved after a rigorous peer review process. The editorial peer review board represents three international metalcasting groups: academia (metalcasting professors), science and research (personnel from national labs, research and scientific institutions), and industry (leading technical personnel from metalcasting facilities).
