- Abstract
Graphite morphology plays significant roles in mechanical properties in graphitic cast irons. Typically, cast irons are made with uniform graphite morphology and distribution across the microstructure of castings. This research explored the possibility of using the difference in graphite morphology over the volume of castings to create a Functionally Grade Material (FGM). The FGM will enable future applications that require the tailor-made microstructure. The hybridization method used in this research was the sulfurization of liquid iron using the sulfur-bearing cores. The result was the Dual Graphite Iron (DGI) that comprised with the lamellar and spheroidal graphite (LG and SG). It was found that the thickness of LG layer increased with increasing sulfur levels in cores. The maximum thickness of the LG layer of 2.2 mm was observed at 6.6 wt%S. The LG/SG interfaces were quite smooth (e.g., controllable) up to 8.8 wt%S where the scattering of the LG microstructure appeared. It was concluded that sulfurization of liquid iron was viable method for producing DGI.
