Effect of Microstructure on the Corrosion Behavior of 6% Cr White Iron Alloyed with Mn and Cu

“…8 Cu was added to render the carbides discontinuous while heat treating by utilizing its graphitizing tendency. 9 It was expected to be useful in combination with Si and also to improve corrosion resistance. 10 The alloy was selected for the study because it provided maximum flexibility in attaining the entire range of microstructures observed in alloy white irons without having to employ too high a heat treating temperature or varying the cooling rate over a wide range.…”
