Abstract
Effect of ferrosilicon and carbonised coconut shell nanoparticle additions on wear
resistance of (NF-Grey 7) cast iron were studied. Alloys of (NF-Grey 7) cast iron were
produced by a gradual increase in masses of the ferrosilicon and carbonised coconut
shell nanoparticle additions using a green sand mould and stir cast technique. The
behaviour of the material under shock energy impact and dry sliding wear conditions
were studied. Results revealed that addition of the ferrosilicon and carbonised coconut
shell nanoparticle additions to the (NG-Grey 7) cast iron enhanced the wear resistance
and impact energy absorption more than what obtained in the earlier NG-Grey 7 cast
iron reinforced with ferrosilicon and graphite micro particles. Hence, new alloy of cast
iron for jaw crusher and other heavy equipment applications where wear resistance and
energy absorption are a prime prerequisite has been developed.
