Temperature - 50 0 25 50 75 100 125

The document presents data from Charpy impact tests performed on four ductile cast irons with different silicon contents. It shows the absorbed energy at various temperatures for each silicon content. It then asks to (a) determine the transition temperature using two different definitions and (b) plot transition temperature versus silicon content and discuss silicon's effect on toughness. It also asks what the maximum silicon content could be if used at 25°C.

The

following data were obtained from a series of Charpy impact tests performed on four ductile
cast irons, each having a different silicon content. Plot the data and determine: (a) the transition
temperature (defined by the mean of the absorbed energies in the ductile and brittle regions)
and (b) the transition temperature (defined as the temperature that provides 10 J absorbed
energy).
Plot the transition temperature versus silicon content and discuss the effect of silicon on the
toughness of the cast iron. What would be the maximum silicon allowed in the cast iron if a part
is to be used at 25ºC?
