RESUMO

The compacted grapite iron is a suitable material for application on components subject to thermal shock and thermal variation. This material shows a good combination o f properties like thermal conductivity, strength and toughness. By this way, the availability o f information about the influence o f chemical composition over performance under thermal conditions, contributes to consolidate the use of this material in automotive components. In case of compacted graphite iron, the resistance to crack initiation due to thermal solicitation can be improved by the addition of alloying elements like: chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and others. Compacted graphite irons with different contents of molybdenum and silicon were investigatted in this work. The specimens in shape of thin disks (4mm) were submitted to three different thermal gradients, from 50 to 450, 500 and 550°C. Also, · the influence of the sharp edges left after machining of specimens was investigated. A procedure was developed for the thermal cyclic tests, consisting in warming one of the faces of the specimen with a heating flame while keeping the other (face) cooled by a water jet to a temperature of 50°C. The results show that the method devoloped for the execution of the test was efficient to evaluate the variables in question. The results indicate that the molybdenum improves thermal fatigue resistance. The maximum temperature of the test is decisive for life in thermal fatigue, and material tested on temperatures up to 450°C resisted twice more than the material tested on temperatures up to 550°C. Finaly, specimens wih smooth edges had a performance 1,5-2,6 times better than specimens with sharp edges.
