raw casting internal quality check for ductile iron
ductile iron mechanical property check hardness,nodularity,tensile strength and yield strength,dyeing penetration NDT test

casting material:EN GJS450-10;
test items:1,hardness : HBW143-217;2,nodularity: 90%MIN(rising area :80%MIN);3,ferrite structure 80%MIN,nodual count 30MIN nodules/mm²,graphite nodules size:90MAX
4,tensile strength and yield strength test;5, dyeing penetration test(PT test)
1、hardness test
samples area

2、metellurgy microscope test
A area:maginfication 100x,4% nitric acid and alcohol solution corrosion

B area: maginfication 100x,4% nitric acid and alcohol solution corrosion

C area: maginfication 100x,4% nitric acid and alcohol solution corrosion


3,tensile strength and yield strength test


4, PT test

conclusion: hardness qualified. Ferrite content for B area and C area is lower than 80%.Tensile strength and yield strength is acceptable.PT test is qualified
