Original abstract

This study deals with the evaluation of corrosion resistance and other utility properties of selected austenitic nodular cast irons and their comparison with other (non-austenitic) nodular cast irons. For the investigations, two types of austenitic nodular cast iron were selected: nickel-manganese nodular cast iron EN-GJSA-XNiMn13-7 and nickel-chromium nodular cast iron EN-GJSA-XNiCr20-2. Basic mechanical properties, such as yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, absorbed energy and hardness, were evaluated using mechanical tests. The fatigue limit was determined using low-frequency fatigue tests. Corrosion properties, such as average corrosion rate, corrosion potential and corrosion current density, were determined by the exposure immersion test and the electrochemical potentiodynamic polarisation test. Both corrosion tests were performed in a 3.5% NaCl solution (to simulate seawater) at room temperature. The results of mechanical, fatigue and corrosion tests show that austenitic nodular cast irons have lower strength and fatigue properties but significantly higher plastic properties and corrosion resistance compared to non-austenitic nodular cast irons.
