For this study casted two sets of cylinders with dimensions ø20 mm, ø15 mm x 250 mm, for the High Chromium Cast Iron (HCCI) and with the 4% by mass Ti-addition. Melts were performed in the induction furnace crucible capacity of 15 kg. During the heats the cup with installed S type thermocouple was poured to record the cooling curves. The cylinders were subjected to the static bending strength test. Samples for the test microstructure and Rockwell hardness were cut from the cylinders. The study shows that the addition of titanium had an impact on the structure and thus the properties of High Chromium Cast Iron (HCCI). In subsequent studies, through an appropriate choice of chemical composition and proper process control, it is planned to obtain in the structure the titanium carbides TiC and chromium carbides with type (Cr, Fe)7C3.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The Effect of Addition of Titanium on The Structure and Properties of High Chromium Cast Iron}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/88661/PDF/07_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/afe-2015-0055}, keywords={High Chromium Cast Iron (HCCI), Titanium, Bending strength, Hardness, Microstructure}, }
