The ceramic lined nodular cast iron was fabricated by the SHS centrifugal thermit process. The influence of combustion synthetic process on microstructure and properties of nodular cast ison was investigated. The results showed that the composite pipe is composed of ceramic layer

pearlite transition layer and cast iron layer with white iron layer

heat diffusion zone and matrix of base nodular cast iron. The resistance to wear and corrosion of nodular cast iron pipe was increased remarkably by SHS. Combustion synthetic process almost has no effect on outer layer structure of nodular cast iron with the good properties of toughness and erosion resistance of nodular cast iron to be reserved.
