Benefits of technology

The present invention describes a method to produce chill-free ultra-fine spherical graphite cast iron with a simple and reproducible method. The inventors found that reducing the amount of nitrogen in the original molten metal can prevent chilling and achieve micro-spheroidization, even when the nitrogen amount in the spheroidizing agent exceeds 0.9 ppm. This reduces the requirement for controlling the nitrogen amount in the original molten metal, making the production process more streamlined and consistent. Overall, this patent provides a technical solution for producing high-quality cast iron with improved properties.

Problems solved by technology

Because graphite without strength is spherical and independent in the spherical graphite cast iron, this casting is tenacious and tough as much as steel.

example 1

[0078]Raw materials such as pig iron, steel scrap, and Fe—Si were blended so as to achieve the following target chemical composition.

[0079](by mass %)

[0080]C: 3.60, Si: 2.60, Mn: 0.10, P: 0.025, the rest is Fe

[0081]These raw materials were heated and melted in a high frequency induction furnace.

[0082]Heating was continued after melting down, 1,425° C. was passed, and heating was also continued. At temperature above 1,425° C., oxygen was removed by CO generation.

[0083]When the temperature was further increased, CO generation from the heat-resistant material in the furnace was observed at temperature exceeding 1,510° C. Therefore, the temperature increase was stopped at 1,510° C., and the temperature was kept at 1,510° C. for 5 minutes. During this period, oxygen is efficiently removed from the original molten metal.

[0084]After keeping the temperature at 1,510° C. for 5 minutes, it was gradually cooled to 1,425° C.(=T° C.) at a rate of about 10° C. / min. On the way, the temperature was...

[0102]In the present example, the temperature was kept at 1,510° C. for 5 minutes and then gradually cooled to 1,425° C.(=T° C.) at a rate of about 5° C. / min. On the way, the temperature was once lowered to 1,440° C., then raised to 1,460° C., and then cooled at the rate of 5° C. / min. The spheroidizing treatment was carried out at 1,425° C.

[0103]The nitrogen amount generated during melting of a sand mold casting was 0.7 ppm (by mass).

[0104]Result is shown in FIG. 2. In the present example, 2,605 pieces / mm2 of spherical graphites, which is a larger number of graphite particles than in the Example 1, was observed.

example 3

[0105]An example of sand mold thin walled spherical graphite cast iron is shown. The product was a box casting with an average wall thickness of 6.5 mm and a weight of 125 kg.

[0106]Raw materials such as pig iron, steel scrap, and Fe—Si were blended so as to achieve the following target chemical composition.

[0107](by mass %)

[0108]C: 3.70, Si: 2.60, Mn: 0.50, P: 0.025. S: 0.035, the rest is Fe

[0109]These raw materials were heated and melted in a high frequency induction furnace. After melting down, these were heated to exceed the temperature of 1,425° C., at which the oxygen reduction reaction started by reduction, and also heated to about 1,500° C. and held for 5 minutes.

[0110]An Mg treatment was carried out at about 1,500° C. The Mg treatment was carried out based on Fe-50% Si-3% Mg (by mass), by adding the spheroidizing agent containing N: 87 ppm, and C: 1.5% (by mass).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates a producing method of die-cast product of spherical graphite cast iron including ultrafine spherical graphite, and a spheroidizing agent.BACKGROUND ART[0002]The spherical graphite cast iron is a kind of pig iron casting (Another name: cast iron), and also called ductile cast iron. In the case of a gray cast iron, which is a kind of cast iron, graphite has a thin strip shape having a strong elongated anisotropy. In contrast, in the case of the spherical graphite cast iron, graphite has a spherical shape. The spherical graphite is obtained by adding a graphite spheroidizing agent containing magnesium, calcium and the like to the molten metal just before casting.[0003]Because graphite without strength is spherical and independent in the spherical graphite cast iron, this casting is tenacious and tough as much as steel. Ductile means toughness, and spherical graphite is responsible for properties with material strength and elongation. C...
