Abstract

The influence of melt overheating in the range of 50-150 °C on the equilibrium liquidus and its cooling rate during crystallization of castings on the formation of macrostructural zones along their cross section, on the change of grain dispersion, dendritic structure characteristics and mechanical properties was investigated on the example of 25L steel.
It is established that the macrostructure of castings in the direction of unilateral heat removal as it moves away from the cooled surface consists of four main structural zones - small coaxial crystals, columnar, branched and large coaxial crystals, the length and morphology of which naturally change depending on thermokinetic conditions of crystallization. The decisive role of the cooling rate at significant overheating of the melt to increase the number of crystallization nuclei, the formation of a more dispersed cast structure by increasing the degree of supercooling of the melt during crystallization is shown. The regularities of quantitative characteristics change of microstructure and dendritic structure depending on change of temperature-time parameters of crystallization in different structural zones of castings and their connection with characteristics of mechanical properties of steel are established.
On the basis of mathematical processing of experimental data by linear regression analysis interpolation models and their graphical interpretations are obtained, which allow to quantify and predict the change of mechanical properties in different structural zones of gradient castings depending on melt overheating temperature and cooling modes within the investigated factor space.
