Heat treatment processes optimalization of ADI with graded Ni content
Klimentová, Jiřina ; Stránský, Karel (referee) ; Pavloušková, Zina (advisor)
This work is focused on segregation processes in the matrix of spheroidal graphite cast iron with different silicon and nickel content during heat treatment. The aim of this work is to trace the redistribution of the elements of interest during homogenization annealing with different dwell time by comparison of the effective distribution coefficients. Comparison of some specific properties and description of structure development of spheroidal graphite cast iron matrix from initial state to the state after ferritization and homogenization annealing is included in this work.

Influence of sand size of core mixtures on surface quality of cast iron castings
Brůža, František ; Krutiš, Vladimír (referee) ; Záděra, Antonín (advisor)
The diploma project deals with the mechanisms of burn-on casting defects on castings made of spheroidal graphite cast iron. It discusses the elimination of their occurrence in the conditions of the German foundry MAT Ueckermünde by changing the granulometry of the core sand. Subsequently, the thesis deals with the influence of this change on the greensand. Furthermore, the thesis compares three refractory coatings supplied by the foundry. The coatings are compared both by laboratory measurements and by experimental tests during casting in conditions simulating the operation of this foundry. Finally, the individual tests are evaluated, including the effect of the individual measures in the case of their use in MAT Ueckermünde.

Application of Homogenization Annealing to Suppress Silicon and Nickel Segregation in Ductile Iron
Pavloušková, Zina ; Zemčík, Ladislav (referee) ; Vřešťál, Jan (referee) ; Švejcar, Jiří (advisor)
This doctoral thesis deals with the comparison of different methods of alloying elements’ concentration measurement based on energy dispersive spectroscopy and also with the suitability of particular methods of quantitative assessment of heterogeneity of the spheroidal graphite cast iron matrix. The segregation curves construction, distribution coefficient and heterogeneity index formulation is also discussed. The notion “normalized distribution coefficient” is introduced newly. The goal of the thesis, which is to be achieved by means of evaluation of large experimental data sets, is the evaluation of applicability of homogenization annealing of spheroidal graphite cast iron with the aim to eliminate segregation of silicon, and mainly nickel, as pearlite- and carbide-forming agent at the border of an eutectic cell. The result is an optimized homogenization annealing schedule maximizing the suppression of silicon and nickel segregation while taking into account the minimization of financial expenses and risk of grain coarsening.

PROGRESSIVE PRODUCTION PROCESSES AND SIMULATION OF STRUCTURES AND PROPERTIES OF SPHEROIDAL GRAPHITE CAST IRON
Musilová, Iveta ; Mores, Antonín (referee) ; Pacal, Bohumil (referee) ; Šenberger, Jaroslav (advisor)
The thesis is concerned with relationships between progressive technological processes of spheroidal graphite cast iron’s production and their structural properties. The aim of the work is to explain causal relationship between parameters of the proposed manufacturing technology of the iron type given (involving selected variants of modification and inoculation of melt and the parameters of melt crystallization, solidification and cooling down in a mould), their structure and even chemical heterogeneity of elements in this structure. For close specification of presented relationships three-dimensional model of spheroidal graphite growth was used, which was developed at the Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Its usability in praxis has been verified on the basisis of the application of this model on experimentally acquired data. The U GRAFIT 20 model of the authors Stránský and Million counting segregation in the frame of eutectic cell has not still been used for prediction of segregation in real condition in greater extent. On the basis of the above mentioned model microsegregation within “on average” of the cell has been discovered during experimental melts. Microsegregation has been described by segregation and heterogeneity indexes. Calculated values of segregation and heterogeneity indexes have been compared with experimentally verified values. On the basis of comparison of calculated and measured values the possibility of further usage of the mentioned model in praxis has been explored.
