This study employed optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to investigate the impact of vanadium (V) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of gray cast iron (GCI) HT250. Additionally, Thermo-Calc software was employed to explore the influence of V on the solidification process. The results indicate that adding trace amounts of V in GCI forms a face-centered cubic VC phase, with the precipitation temperature of the VC phase gradually increasing. When the V content reaches 0.28 wt%, the VC phase begins to precipitate during the eutectic reaction. The incorporation of V consumes carbon, reducing the graphite content and promoting the formation of type D graphite. As the V content increases, there is an enlargement in the pearlite area ratio, a decrease in the pearlite layer spacing, and a reduction in the size of eutectic cells. These microstructural alterations lead to enhanced mechanical properties. The tensile strength peaks at 336 MPa with a V content of 0.77 wt%, representing a 29% increase compared to samples without added V. Similarly, the Vickers hardness increases with increasing V content, reaching a peak of 373 HV at 0.92 wt% V, a 27% increase compared to samples without V addition. However, at this point, the tensile strength decreases to 322 MPa. |
