Additional problems and questions for this chapter may be found on both Student and
Instructor Companion Sites atwww.wiley.com/college/callister.Ferrous Alloys
13.1 (a)Cite three reasons why ferrous alloys are
used so extensively.(b)Cite three character-
istics of ferrous alloys that limit their utiliza-
tion.
13.2Compute the volume percent of graphiteVGr
in a 2.5 wt% C cast iron, assuming that all the
carbon exists as the graphite phase. Assume
densities of 7.9 and 2.3 g/cm^3 for ferrite and
graphite, respectively.
13.3Compare gray and malleable cast irons with
respect to(a)composition and heat treat-
ment,(b)microstructure, and(c)mechanical
characteristics.
13.4Is it possible to produce malleable cast iron
in pieces having large cross-sectional dimen-
sions? Why or why not?
