Abstract

In the present study, liquation behavior including the constitutional liquation phenomena in the weld heataffected zone (HAZ) of nodular cast iron with 4% Si was investigated. The thermal cycle of the weld HAZ was simulated using a Gleeble simulator at various peak temperatures and a fast heating rate of 1000 °C/sec was selected to observe the constitutional liquation phenomenon. Differential thermal analysis has shown that the eutectic constituents of γ + Laves and γ + Fe3C begin to melt at 1120 °C and 1140 °C, respectively. Meanwhile, constitutional liquation by γ/graphite reaction occurred above 1140 °C, due to carbon enrichment around the graphite nodules.
