About this title

Synopsis

This book reports on a series of experiments conducted by the U.S. Railroad Administration, Bureau of Standards, and various foundries to investigate the quality of iron used for locomotive cylinder parts. The book reviews relevant literature and previous specifications. It contains the results of mechanical, chemical, and microscopical tests performed on a number of packing rings, arbitration bars, chill-test specimens, and other samples. The tests were conducted to evaluate the influence of chemical composition, manufacturing process, and storage conditions on the strength and wear resistance of cast iron. The author discusses the relationship between laboratory test results and service performance and concludes that the air-furnace process produces iron with better mechanical properties and lower sulfur content than the cupola process. The book provides valuable insights for engineers and manufacturers seeking to improve the quality and performance of cast iron components in locomotive engines.
