Abstract With the continuous development of metal manufacturing technology, high-strength and high-hardness ductile iron materials have excellent comprehensive performance. Many performance indexes are comparable to those of alloy steels, and they have excellent casting properties. Many large-scale parts produced by cast steel are slowly being replaced by this material. Ductile iron is obtained by a spheroidizing treatment and inoculation to obtain spheroidal graphite. The mechanical properties of cast iron have been effectively improved, especially plasticity and toughness, and the strength obtained is higher than that of carbon steel. Ductile iron has the properties of iron and the properties of steel. It is a new type of engineering material with high plasticity, strength, corrosion resistance, and wear-resistance. Because of its excellent performance, it has been successfully used to cast parts with high-stress conditions, high strength, toughness and wear resistance. Due to the small splitting effect of ductile iron on the metal matrix, the stress concentration is effectively eliminated. Therefore, the matrix structure of ductile cast iron is changed by heat treatment, thereby improving its mechanical properties and the damping performance of the material itself. Through a heat treatment process experiment of ductile iron, the related process and technical measures of damping performance in the heat treatment production process are obtained.

Abstract ISO 185/JL/350 is a higher-tensile-strength gray cast iron that has a pearlitic matrix, and a tensile strength of 350–450 MPa (51–65 ksi), when determined on test pieces machined from separately cast, 30 mm (1.2 in.) diameter test bars. It provides a combination of high strength while still maintaining good thermal conductivity compared with other types of cast iron. This grade approaches the maximum tensile strength attainable in gray cast iron. Applications therefore tend to be confined to those where thermal conductivity requirements in service preclude the use of one of the other higher-strength materials such as spheroidal graphite cast irons, which have inferior thermal properties. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and tensile properties. It also includes information on wear resistance as well as casting and heat treating.

The experience of the Physico-technical Institute (PhTI) of the National Acdemy of Sciences of Belarus in the harmonization of international standard ISO 17804 (Founding – Ausferritic spheroidal graphite cast irons – Classification) and development of the Belorussian analogue STB ISO is described. The reasons for the choice of austempered ductile iron (ADI) as an object for standard harmonization are presented: it is the most promising cast iron in comparison with gray and classical ductile iron. The work procedure on harmonization is described: how to include the task into the State Plan on standardization, specificity of translation of the text, peculiarities of with state organizations responsible for approbation of standards such as Belorussian Institute for Standardization and Certification (BelGISS) and State Committee on Standards (Gosstandart), writing a summary of external reviews, working with critical comments from potential users. It is outlined that any foreign standard does not exists independently but is closely connected with at least 10 to 20 other standards. Thus, harmonization necessitates coordination with other standards and sometimes even with handbooks by adding annexes to the main text. The importance of a proper choice of the standard status is outlined: identical (ID) or modified (MOD). Developing an identical standard is prestigious but difficult because is requires harmonization of all the referenced standards, which is a very labor-consuming procedure. It is argued that the most suitable is ‘intermediate’ variant: adopting the authentic text of the international standard (in high-quality translation) but with annexes reflecting national specificity in this area. As a result, a harmonized standard is developed which, for the first time in Belarus, standardize the tensile strength of 800 MPa in combination with the elongation of 10 % and the tensile strength of 1400 MPa in combination with the elongation of 1 % for cast irons.The annual demand for ADI in Belarus is estimated as about 10,000 ton. It is shown that in Belarus, where about 60 industrial enterprises have a foundry and almost every engineering plant has a heat-treatment shop, austempered ductile cast (ADI), which features a high strength, can successfully compete with rolled steel in certain applications.

The Matrix

The present study examined the effects of heat treatment and the addition of Cu-Ni alloy on the corrosion resistance of the matrix of spheroidal graphite cast iron in aqueous environments. Test materials of white cast iron and carbon steel were used for comparison with spheroidal graphite cast iron. The alloy spheroidal graphite cast iron that added Cu and Ni was prepared. The spheroidal graphite cast iron was subjected to three kinds of heat treatment to adjust the matrix: annealing, oil quenching, and austemper heat treatment. In electrochemical tests, measurements of corrosion electrode potential and cathode and anode polarization were used. The following was clarified from the relationship between the electrode potential and current density of each of the materials in each of the solution. The alloy spheroidal graphite cast iron had a high corrosion electrode potential owing to the addition of Cu-Ni, and tended to have a low corrosion current density. This demonstrates that in any of the materials having a matrix adjusted by heat treatment, the addition of Cu-Ni increased the corrosion resistance. The corrosion current density was highest in a sulfuric acid environment.

Abstract The paper presents influence of soaking parameters (temperature and time) on structure and mechanical properties of spheroidal graphite nickel-manganese-copper cast iron, containing: 7.2% Ni, 2.6% Mn and 2.4% Cu. Raw castings showed austenitic structure and relatively low hardness (150 HBW) guaranteeing their good machinability. Heat treatment consisted in soaking the castings within 400 to 600°C for 2 to 10 hours followed by air-cooling. In most cases, soaking caused changes in structure and, in consequence, an increase of hardness in comparison to raw castings. The highest hardness and tensile strength was obtained after soaking at 550°C for 6 hours. At the same time, decrease of the parameters related to plasticity of cast iron (elongation and impact strength) was observed. This resulted from the fact that, in these conditions, the largest fraction of fine-acicular ferrite with relatively high hardness (490 HV0.1) was created in the matrix. At lower temperatures and after shorter soaking times, hardness and tensile strength were lower because of smaller degree of austenite transformation. At higher temperatures and after longer soaking times, fine-dispersive ferrite was produced. That resulted in slightly lower material hardness.

Various modifiers are used for non-furnace processing of cast iron. Some of them are designed for inoculating modification, which improves mechanical properties and eliminates the appearance of whiteness in castings, while others are designed for spheroidizing processing, in particular for producing cast iron with spherical and vermicular graphite. Some have both spheroidizing and inoculating properties. The main part of inoculating and spheroidizing modifiers is made on iron-silicon, Nickel and copper bases.In addition to the chemical composition, the size of the modifier particles, as well as their shape, are of great importance for modification. The optimal size of the fraction depends significantly on the non-furnace processing technology. Thus, for the larger the bucket and the longer the casting the longer the modification effect is required. One of the methods to achieve this is to increase the particle size of the modifier to 50 mm. When intraform processing of cast iron with spherical and vermicular graphite, magnesium-containing modifiers have strict limits on the upper size (4...5 mm), and in addition, the content of small fractions (less than 0.6...1 mm) is not allowed.The use of «heavy» magnesium-containing ligatures for spheroidizing modification of cast iron in order to obtain higher physical and mechanical properties has scientific and practical interest. Numerous studies show that for maximum effect the formation of the structure of the spheroidal graphite, dispersed pearlite metallic base of SGI (spheroidal graphite iron) relevant question is not only selection of the chemical composition of magnesium alloys, but also of the fractional composition, as well as effective method of input into the liquid melt.The purpose of this work was to study the technological features of obtaining cast iron with spherical graphite by bucket modification of copper-magnesium ligature.The researchers used a Leo–1420 scanning microscope, a Polam l-213 optical microscope, and a VEGA II LMU electron microscope with an INCA ENERGY 350 microanalyzer. High-speed induction melting plant, a set of equipment for analyzing the technological and mechanical properties of high-strength cast iron were used.Earlier experimental studies have shown the real possibility of obtaining in the laboratory a «heavy» copper-magnesium alloys as the alloying of magnesium metal with copper, followed by rapid cooling with use of rolling and plastic deformation of powder alloys. Analysis of test results of samples of such alloys showed that it depends on the value of its additives into liquid iron in the structure of formed graphite phase in compacted and globular form. At the same time, the metal base of cast iron is additionally alloyed with copper, which has a favorable effect on the strength characteristics of SGI.However, an urgent problem is the possibility of the appearance of a cementite phase in the structure of high-strength cast iron as a result of its increased supercooling due to the process of spheroidization of the graphite phase. This phenomenon is compounded by the fact that the copper-magnesium ligature, in contrast to the «light» ligature, does not contain silicon active graphitizer. This feature must be taken into account when obtaining high-strength cast iron of high grades.
