Effects of bismuth on the matrix structure of ductile iron castings

This paper deals with the effects of the addition of 0.00031, 0.00064, 0.001 and 0.0042 wt.% Bi on the matrix structure of ductile iron castings consisting of 7 sections of different thicknesses (3, 12, 25, 38, 50, 75 and 100 mm) and contain low content of Si (2.11 wt.%) and pearlite promoting element (0.018 wt.% Cu, 0.0055 wt.% Sn, 0.00041 wt.% Sb, 0.098 wt.% Mn). The Bi contents of 0.00031, 0.00064 and 0.001 wt.% were not significantly affected the share of ferrite and pearlite in the section thicknesses of 12, 25, 38, 50, 75 and 100 mm compared to the casting which does not contain Bi. In all these sections the share of pearlite was increased and the share of ferrite was decreased by the addition of 0.0042 wt.% Bi. All of the above-mentioned Bi contents were resulted in the formation of iron carbides in the section thickness of 3 mm. The share of carbides increases with increasing Bi content.
