Abstract

For decades manganese steel casts have been most used materials for manufacturing elements subjected to impact and high stress abrasion. These materials are used in countless industrial applications that involve crushing of raw material by impact. Some of most important characteristics of manganese cast steels are work-hardening and high strength. Opposite from manganese steels, highly alloyed white cast irons are materials with high amount of hard carbide phases that shows better abrasion resistance but have lower strength and impact energy. Aim of this paper is to investigate possibilities to reduce costs and maintenance periods by implementing bimetallic materials.

Keywords
