Abstract

Molds of metal are widely used in the casting process. The cooling rate in solidification of castings product with metal molds on the outer side and inner side is different. Therefore, sizes and types of phase will be also different. This study aims to investigate the microstructure and hardness of gray cast iron. To realize this research, the gray cast iron melting process was carried out in an induction furnace. Melted gray cast iron was poured into a Ferro Casting Ductile mold that has been through a preheating process at a temperature of 300o C. The gray cast iron is then tested for composition, microstructure and hardness. The test results show that the part containing more cementite phase will be harder.
