5. CONCLUSION
This paper concludes that the various properties related to fiber reinforced cast iron are very important and they
affect on the cooling rates and welded zone. Maximum hardness is obtained in weld zone followed by heat
affected zone and base metal for both preheated and unpre heated specimen and for all cooling conditions.
Maximum tensile strength is obtained in base metal than in air cooled followed by sand cooled that means the
higher cooling rate produces joints of higher strength.
