This paper presents the results of a study to determine the influence of casting parameters (cooling rate in the casting mould, casting temperature) on the primary structure of Mg-4%Li-1%Ca alloy ingots. The macro-and microstructure analysis of the Mg-4%Li-1%Ca alloy was performed using light and electron microscopy techniques. Microhardness measurements were made for the Mg-4%Li-1%Ca alloy and phase identification in the Mg-4%Li-1%Ca alloy was made using X-ray phase analysis

The article presents the results of metallographic and tribological tests on GX120MnCr13 cast steel that was previously subjected to heat treatment (including solution treatment from 1100°C and isothermal holding at 250, 400, and 600°C for 100 hours). The temperatures of the isothermal holding process were selected in order to reflect the possible working conditions of the cast elements that can be made of this cast steel. Wear tests were carried out under dry friction conditions using the ball-on-disc method using a ZrO 2 ball as a counter-sample. The tests were carried out with a load of 5 N. The influence of the long-term isothermal holding process on the microstructure of the tested cast steel was analysed by light and scanning microscopy; however, abrasion marks were also examined using a confocal microscope. Based on the tests conducted, it was found that in the microstructures of the sample after solution treatment and samples that were held in isothermal condition at 250 and 400 C, the grain boundary areas were enriched in Mn and Cr compared to the areas inside the grains. Pearlite appeared in the sample that was heated (or held in isothermal holding) at 600°C; its share reached 41.6%. The presence of pearlite in the austenitic matrix increased the hardness to 351.4 HV 10 . The hardness of the remaining tested samples was within a range of 221.8–229.1 HV 10 . Increasing the hardness of the tested cast steel directly resulted in a reduction in the degree of wear as well as the volume, area, and width of the abrasion marks. A microscopic analysis of the wear marks showed that the dominant process of the abrasive wear of the tested friction pair was the detachment and displacement of the tested material through the indentation as a result of the cyclical impact of the counter-sample.

The subject of this study is to show that the parameters of the melting process of high chromium cast iron affect the cost of casting and the properties of the cast iron. The analysis of the quality of the casting and its price was conducted in terms of the metal charge of high chromium cast iron. As is well known, in order to obtain the correct structure of the casting, and thus good strength properties, it is necessary to use clean batch components free of undesirable impurities. Unfortunately, the quality of the metal charge is proportional to its price. Thus, the use of expensive batch components offers the possibility of obtaining healthy and meeting the strength properties of castings. However, there is a flaw in this approach. And it is from the point of view of economics that production plants are forced to look for savings. Expensive feedstock materials are replaced by cheaper counterparts giving the possibility of obtaining castings with similar properties often, however, at the cost of increased inferior quality. It seems that a way out of this situation is to introduce a modification procedure into the alloyed iron manufacturing technology. The selected modifiers should affect the fragmentation of the structure of the primary austenite. At this point, it can be hypothesized that this will result in the elimination of hot cracking in high chromium cast iron. The industrial research carried out at the "Swidnica" Foundry Ltd. made it possible to show by means of the Althoff-Radtke method that by using the modification of the liquid metal of the so-called "inferior and cheaper" composition of the metal charge, a reduction in the occurrence of hot cracks and shrinkage cavities can be achieved. In addition, iron-niobium modification not only reduced the formation of casting defects in castings, but also slightly improved the impact strength of high-chromium cast iron. The work was written as part of an implementation PhD.
