Abstract

The results of impact tests carried out at - 30 °C on cast alloyed GX8CrNi12, GX5CrNi18-9 and GX5CrNiMo19-11-2 steel grades are reported. It has been shown that at - 30 °C, the addition of 1 % Ni to cast GX8CrNi12 steel does not provide the required impact strength of 35 J/cm2. In contrast, other tested materials containing 8 ÷ 9 % Ni can easily reach exceeding 50 J/cm2. Numerous non-metallic inclusions present in the microstructure of cast GX5CrNi-Mo19-11-2 steel resulting from, among others, the miscalculated refining process were found to be one of the main causes of reduced impact strength as compared to the cast GX5CrNi18-9 steel.
