Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Tungsten alloy white cast iron (TAWCI) exhibits strong brittleness and a narrow application scope. The influences of Ce, K and Na on the microstructure and performance of TAWCI have been studied, and the idea to estimate the spheroidization effect of carbides using circular degree (C.D.) is put forward. The results show that eutectic carbides turn from network into sphericity after the modification. Carbide is refined and uniformly distributed and the C.D. of eutectic carbides increases. The mechanism of carbide spheroidization has been analyzed. The impact toughness and wear resistance of TAWCI obviously improves with the rise of C.D. of carbides. The service life of a modified TAWCI roll is 35 % higher than that of high-chromium cast-iron roll, its production cost is reduced by 25 %.
