Abstract

Des alliages de fonte connus sont limités dans leurs applications par rapport à la température. L'utilisation de cobalt permet de mettre au point un ensemble ferritique optimal de manière à repousser les limites d'applications à des températures élevées au moyen d'un alliage comprenant 2,0 - 4,5 % en poids de silicium, 0,5 - 5 % en poids de cobalt, 2,5 - 4 % en poids de carbone, = 1% en poids de molybdène, = 0,25 % en poids de manganèse, = 0,3 % en poids de nickel, le reste étant du fer, et la part de silicium, de cobalt et de molybdène étant inférieure à 7,5 % en poids.
