Conclusions
-
1.
Cementite is enriched with manganese during graphitization annealing of white cast iron.
-
2.
The change in the manganese content of cementite had no effect on the microhardness and is not accompanied by phase reconstruction.
-
3.
The graphitization process during annealing of cast iron results from the dissociation of cementite directly, without formation of any intermediate carbide.
