Abstract
The effect of high-temperature annealing of different duration on the microstructure of alloy-free cast iron subjected to thermocycling in the molten state is studied. The variation of the hardness of the obtained white cast iron (without graphite segregations) and of the microhardness of pearlite is determined as a function of the annealing time and the cooling conditions. The influence of the modes of high-temperature annealing on the volume fraction of eutectic cementite is analyzed.
