FRACTOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF FRACTURES OF GRAPHITIZED CAST IRON USING OPTICAL MICROSCOPY
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
Fractography - methods for studying material fractures, the science of the structure of fracture surfaces. Fractography is widely used to determine the causes of destruction of materials and structures. In materials sciences, fractography is used to study crack propagation, microstructure studies, and quality control. When investigating the failure of structures, determining the type of crack (material fatigue, hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion cracking, exceeding the permissible load, etc.) makes it possible to determine the cause of the failure. Fractographic studies include the study of a fracture with the naked eye, using an optical and electron microscope. Other methods are also often used, such as measuring hardness or studying the distribution of chemical elements using X-ray spectral microanalysis. Fractographic (or fracture) analysis is the first and obligatory stage of research that must be performed by an expert of the metallurgical examination laboratory when determining the causes of material destruction. Visual examination of the fracture (fracture) surface makes it possible to establish the location of the beginning of fracture, the nature of its further course, to make a judgment about the degree of plasticity of the material and about possible structural defects that led to the initiation and development of cracks. The use of fractographic analysis methods for reconstructing the fracture surface of graphitized cast iron is proposed. The influence of various inclusions in the structure of cast iron is considered. A study of the fracture surface of graphitized cast irons was carried out, and the causes affecting the fracture process were identified.
