Residual Stress Determination of Ductile Cast Iron by means of Neutron Diffraction
F. Smith, J. Markgraaff, D.Marais, A.M. Venter
download PDFA study was undertaken to simulate the casting process, using simulation software, of a ductile iron casting (for use as a valve body) and in doing so to determine the order of residual stress and experimentally verify the simulation results. The simulation was carried out using MAGMASOFT® and the residual stress results verified using neutron diffraction. The measured residual stress results were found to compare favourably with the simulation predictions.
