This invention discloses a gradient-strengthened dual high-carbon phase MoCr
alloy cast iron and its preparation process, belonging to the technical field of
alloy cast iron materials. This
alloy cast iron contains 3.0-3.2% C and 1.7-1.9% Si by
mass percentage, with a carbon equivalent of 3.7-3.9%. It forms a gradient structure from the surface to the core, consisting of a
carbide-rich layer, a transition strengthening layer, and a matrix layer. The
carbide content,
graphite morphology, and grade of each layer are gradient-adapted, and the mechanical properties meet the requirements of tensile strength ≥390MPa and
quenching hardness 56-59HRC. The preparation process includes
raw material pretreatment and precise batching, segmented melting and gradient
inoculation,
directional solidification and gradient cooling, gradient heat treatment and performance regulation, and can also include surface strengthening and
defect repair steps. This invention achieves a synergistic improvement in material strength,
toughness,
wear resistance, and
fatigue resistance, completely eliminates the problem of
quenching pitting, is compatible with existing production lines, has low
raw material costs, and a high
casting yield rate, making it suitable for the manufacture of cold
stamping and drawing dies for automotive body panels.
