Resumen
FIERRO, V.E. et al. Mechanical behaviour of spheriodal graphite cast iron in the temperature range Between -100°c and +100°c. Lat. Am. appl. res. [online]. 2003, vol.33, n.1, pp.7-12. ISSN 0327-0793.
Impact tests were done on spheroidal graphite cast iron samples, with five different microstructures. These were obtained by means of the following heat treatments: subcritical annealing, normalizing and two different austempering processes. Other samples were tested in their as-cast condition. The tests were carried out in a temperature range from -100°C to +100°C. Also, tensile tests and hardness measurements were performed to qualify the samples. Every specimen came from a single melt, cast in "Y" blocks of two different thicknesses. The impact test results showed an alteration in the fracture behaviour as a function of temperature. The transition temperature, in particular, showed a meaningful shift with the enlargement of the "Y" block. This feature can lead to lower performances than expected. The harder and tougher the matrix, the more important this shift was.
