abstract = {ABSTRACT: In this report the thermal conductivity of five cast irons with different
composition is studied. The castings chosen for the project were a standard
spheroidal graphite iron (SGI), and two SGI with high silicon contents, and two
compacted graphite irons (CGI) with also high silicon contents. Some
experiments were done for each studied cast iron as dilatometer, differential
scanner calorimeter (DSC) and Laser flash. After the thermal study, a microscope
analysis was done in order to obtain the nodularity, the graphite amount and the
ferrite and pearlite amount of each cast iron. The goal of the project is investigate
the thermal behaviour of casting with high silicon contents and find any kind of
relation between the silicon content, the thermal conductivity and the nodularity.
The results doesn´t report an important influence of the silicon content in the
thermal conductivity. Studying the results it is concluded that in applications were
high thermal conductivity is required, it is recommended cooling rates
corresponding to thickness higher than 50 mm.},
