Проанализированы особенности строения белых, половинчатых и серых чугунов.
The paper has been devoted to study of white, chilled and gray cast iron. It has been showed that white cast irons’ ingots are characterized by high level of properties. What is why such materials are used at high temperature and wear condition. Carbides’ and granites existence in the structure increase properties of chilled cast iron. Such cast irons are used for details of metallurgical and other branches of industry. Flake graphite in structure of cast iron decreases level of analyzed properties. But ingots of such cast iron showed high values of tensile strength on compression.
