Abstract

Since very little study of the malleableizing process had been made and also because the properties that were considered of primary importance to the average user of malleable iron were ease of machining and ductility, no attention has been paid to the industrial possibilities of partially graphitized white iron. In annealing periods of less than 11 hours total duration it has been found possible to produce irons ranging from 70,000 strength and 5% stretch to 55,000 and 10% stretch depending on varying rates of cooling of 6°F. per minute to 3°F. per minute from the annealing temperature. The unusual properties of 85,000 strength and 6% stretch has been obtained by a slightly longer annealing method which involves a grain refining process. There should be important industrial uses for these products.
