This paper presents the results of the abrasive wear resistance of
selected types of nodular cast iron, including ADI, cooperating with
quartz sand and 100 grit abrasive paper. It has been shown that carbides in
nodular cast iron cause an increase in wear resistance of 6 to
12% depending on the surface fraction of the carbides and type of the matrix.
For the same unit pressure the mass loss of the cast iron
cooperating with quartz sand is many times larger than the cast iron
cooperating with abrasive paper. For both abrasives the highest wear
resistance showed nodular cast iron with upper and lower bainite and carbides.
