Conclusions
-
1.
Use of the carbon equivalent is recommended for predicting the properties of wearresistant cast irons.
-
2.
Cast irons with a carbon equivalent Ce=3.2–4.2%, which can be obtained by varying the content of three elements (chromium, carbon, and manganese) exhibit maximum wear resistance.
