- the liquid cast iron in the ladle 4 is such that the object or base body 16 obtained with the manufacturing method according to the invention has the chemical composition defined below , and in particular has the silicon content according to the invention.
- the establishment of the final silicon content of the object or of the base body 16 is made before the casting step in the mold 10, by additions of materials containing silicon, in particular FeSi alloys. These additions are made, for example, in the liquid cast iron bath of electric furnaces or in supply ladles.
- Any silicon intake resulting from spheroidization and/or inoculation treatments using silicon-based agents must be taken taken into account to determine the quantity of silicon to be added to the liquid metal to obtain an object or base body 16 having a silicon content in accordance with the invention.
- the establishment of the final silicon content of the object or of the base body 16, made before the casting step in the mold 10, is carried out by adding to the cast iron a silicon content equal to that of the object minus the content provided by inoculation and/or spheroidization.
- the increase in the silicon content of the spheroidal graphite cast iron according to the invention must not be obtained by increasing the quantity of silicon-based inoculating agent.
- the silicon content in the cast iron of the object provided by the inoculating agent is between 0.1% and 0.3%.
- Liquid cast iron corresponding to the quantity of cast iron required for the base body 16, is introduced into the pouring device 6 through the supply pocket 4.
- the mold 10 is rotated around the X-X axis and it is brought into its casting start position.
- the liquid iron is poured from the pouring device 6 into the pouring channel 8, flows along it and is poured into the mold 10 at the socket end 30.

- the spheroidal graphite cast iron according to the invention has an elongation at break greater than or equal to 7% and in particular greater than or equal to 8%, greater than or equal to 9% or greater than or equal to 10%.
- the spheroidal graphite cast iron of the object according to the invention has a resilience E greater than or equal to 9.49 Joules at ambient temperature (20° C.). This is obtained inter alia by the fact that the silicon rate does not exceed 3.7%.
- the resilience E is measured by the “Charpy sheep” shock method.

- the pipe element 15 or the base body 16 has a nominal diameter DN and a wall thickness e.
- the nominal diameter DN is for example less than or equal to 600 mm or less than or equal to 1000 mm or less than or equal to 1600 mm.
- the pipe obtained with the installation of the figure 1 and having undergone the heat treatment as described above with reference to the Fig. 2 has a thickness of approximately 5.3 mm
- a pipe obtained with the classic DeLavaud process and whose cast iron has a silicon content of less than 2.9% has a thickness greater than 6.5 mm.
- the installation 2 and the method for manufacturing the pipe element according to this second embodiment differ from the installation and the method described above only in the following. Similar elements bear the same references.
- Installation 2 comprises a device (not shown) for applying a refractory material. This device is suitable for depositing a layer of a temporary refractory material 50 on the inner surface 24 of the mold 10.
- the temporary refractory material 50 is known per se and is for example a mixture of water, bentonite and silica-based refractory product.
- the layer of temporary refractory material 50 reduces the cooling rate of the cast iron cast in the mold 10.
- the temporary refractory material 50 is replaced by a temporary thermal insulation material.
- the manufacturing process using the installation 2 is a manufacturing process of the "Wetspray” type. This process is as follows.
- temporary refractory material 50 Prior to pouring liquid iron into mold 10, temporary refractory material 50 is disposed on interior surface 24 and forms a layer of temporary refractory material.
- the next step is to pour the liquid iron over the layer of temporary refractory material
- the blank of the base body 16 or the blank of the cast iron object contains no or very little cementite.
- Spheroidal graphite cast iron has an essentially ferritic matrix with a low pearlite content, in particular less than or equal to 10%, given that the Si content is greater than 3.2%.
- FIG 4 is represented the temperature/time diagram during the heat treatment of the blank of the base body 16 or more generally of a blank of the cast iron object manufactured according to the “Wetspray” process by the installation 2 according to the second mode of achievement shown on the picture 3 .
- the blank of the basic body 16 or of the cast iron object undergoes a heat treatment.
- the blank of the basic body or of the object is introduced into a furnace at an inlet temperature greater than 800°C and, in a first heat treatment step EW1, is cooled at a cooling rate of less than 40°C/minute down to an end-of-ferritization temperature below 740°C and preferably between 700°C and 740°C.
- This first step EW1 is a ferritization step during which the austenite is transformed into ferrite and into graphite.
- the blank of the base body or of the cast iron object is cooled from the temperature at the end of ferritization to a temperature below 100° C., and preferably between 20°C and 100°C excluded.
- This cooling takes place in air, that is to say at a rate of between 30° C./min and 70° C./min and preferably between 40° C./min and 60° C./min and in particular at about 50°C/min.
- the air temperature during this cooling is between 10°C and 40°C.
- a relaxation heat treatment intended to relax the internal stresses initially present in the cast iron. This consists first of all in heating the blank of the base body 16 or of the cast iron object from the aforementioned temperature located between 20° C. and 100° C. to a relaxation temperature of between 600° C. and 700° C. °C, then maintaining the blank of the basic body or of the cast iron object at this relaxation temperature for a period of between 10 minutes and 30 minutes.
- a fourth step EW4 the blank of the base body 16 or of the cast iron object is cooled down to ambient temperature (20° C.).
- the nominal diameter DN is for example greater than 600mm.
- Tests carried out show that, for an identical bursting pressure and in the case for example of a DN800 pipe, the pipe obtained with the installation of the picture 3 and which has undergone the heat treatment described above with reference to the Fig. 4 has a thickness of approximately 7.7 mm, whereas a pipe obtained with the conventional Wetspray process and whose cast iron has a silicon content of less than 2.9% has a thickness greater than or equal to 9.4 mm.
- the figure 6 shows the resilience E according to the "Charpy sheep” impact test and demonstrates that objects whose spheroidal graphite cast iron contains between 3.3% and 3.5% silicon and manufactured using the Wetspray process followed by a treatment thermal (“WS Treated”) as described above, have a resilience well in excess of 10 Joules, unlike spheroidal graphite cast iron obtained by the Wetspray process without subsequent heat treatment ("raw WS" on the figure 6 ) for which a resilience greater than 9.49 Joules is obtained only for silicon contents less than 3%.
- WS Treated treatment thermal
- the figure 7 shows that the objects obtained by the Wetspray process followed by the heat treatment ("WS Treated") according to the invention and having a silicon content of between 3.4 and 3.5% have an elongation A greater than 15% and in particular comprised between 18% and 22% approximately.
- the pipe member made by the above methods may be a tubular member other than a socket pipe, for example a cylindrical tube fitting.
- the composition of the spheroidal graphite cast iron according to the invention can also be used for the manufacture of a cast iron road element such as a manhole or a rainwater evacuation device, or for the manufacture foundry fittings.
- the method of manufacturing such objects consists in pouring liquid cast iron into a mold and inoculating it simultaneously. Then, after extraction from the mold and cooling to a temperature below 100° C., the blank of the cast iron object is subjected to a thermal relaxation treatment. This consists first of all in heating the blank of the object to a relaxation temperature greater than 400°C and preferably between 600°C and 700°C. Then, the blank of the cast iron object is maintained at this relaxation temperature for a period of between 10 minutes and 30 minutes approximately.
- the object blank is cooled to room temperature.
- the cast iron obtained at the end of this heat treatment makes it possible to reduce the weight of the road element or the foundry fitting compared to the known elements while maintaining a given mechanical resistance, or else, at the same weight, makes it possible to increase the mechanical performance of the road element or the foundry fitting.
- the impact strength of cast iron at room temperature (20° C.) is greater than or equal to 10J or greater than or equal to 11J. Resilience is notably measured by the “Charpy sheep” impact test.
- the spheroidal graphite cast iron object according to the invention therefore makes it possible to obtain pipe elements or roadway elements having low wall thicknesses for a given mechanical strength or improved mechanical performance at similar wall thicknesses. Manufacture and use, in particular transport and handling, are therefore economical.
