The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing spheroidal graphite cast iron parts. Ordinary spheroidal graphite cast iron containing carbon, silicon, manganese, and magnesium is heated to austenite, then rapidly cooled to a predetermined temperature higher than room temperature, and held at that temperature for a predetermined time, which is the so-called austempering treatment. Attempts have already been made to increase the surface pressure strength, and it is used in automobile power transmission gears and the like as a substitute for carburized steel parts. but,
This type of cast iron material has poor fatigue strength, so when used in power transmission gears, it is necessary to increase the dimensions, which also causes an increase in the dimensions of related parts, resulting in an overall increase in weight and cost. It has the disadvantage of causing an increase in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 49 Sho 49 proposed that ordinary spheroidal graphite cast iron be subjected to austempering treatment by adding alloying elements such as molybdenum and, in some cases, nickel, tin, and copper.
- Proposed by No. 53115. In this case, the amount of molybdenum added is 0.10-0.26%, nickel is 2.5% or less, preferably 0.5-2.5%, and tin is 0.03%.
~0.2%, copper 0.3-1.0. The spheroidal graphite cast iron obtained in this way is said to have high fatigue strength, but it does not have the same performance as carburized steel, and has a high surface pressure strength such as that used in power transmission gears.
It cannot be used in applications that require fatigue resistance and seizure resistance. Therefore, the present invention provides excellent surface pressure resistance,
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing spheroidal graphite cast iron parts that have fatigue resistance and seizure resistance and can be satisfactorily used for power transmission gears and the like. The method for manufacturing spheroidal graphite cast iron parts according to the present invention includes:
By weight, carbon 2.6-4.0%, silicon 1.5-3.5%,
Manganese 0.1~1.0%, Molybdenum 0.03~0.09%,
Spheroidal graphite cast iron consisting of 0.3 to 1.5% copper, 0.02 to 0.10% magnesium, and the balance substantially iron is used. Cast iron parts having the above composition are heated at a temperature of 850 to 1000°C, held at that temperature for less than 4 hours to austenitize, and then rapidly cooled to 220 to 260°C.
Austempering treatment is performed by holding at this temperature for 30 minutes or more. After this austempering process, the part is further shot peened. The composition of the spheroidal graphite cast iron used in the method of the present invention is the same as that of ordinary spheroidal graphite cast iron, except for the addition of copper and molybdenum, and contains not more than 0.04% sulfur and not more than 0.2% phosphorus by weight. be able to. By adding copper and molybdenum in combination, fatigue strength can be greatly increased. Copper is an element that promotes pearlitization,
(Fe-Cu) has the property of being uniformly dispersed in the matrix in the form of 3C , but when the amount added exceeds 1.5%, it segregates at grain boundaries and causes a decrease in mechanical properties such as surface pressure resistance. Become. Like copper, molybdenum also forms (Fe-Mo) 3 C, but the amount added is
When the content exceeds 0.09%, plate-like molybdenum carbides are formed. This carbide has high hardness and has the effect of increasing surface pressure resistance, but has a significant negative effect on fatigue. In addition, molybdenum has the property of being uniformly distributed in the base in the range where it does not produce carbides, that is, 0.09% or less.
If the amount added is more than that, it tends to segregate near the grain boundaries as in the case of copper. Then, the molybdenum carbide is partially decomposed at the austenitizing temperature during the austempering treatment to form fine graphite. Therefore, the fatigue life is further reduced. Therefore,
In the present invention, the amount of molybdenum added is 0.09% or less. In the method of the present invention, the reason why the treatment temperature after austenitization is set to 220 to 260°C is that by maintaining this temperature, a highly hard bainite base can be obtained. If the processing temperature is below 220°C, martensite will begin to form, resulting in embrittlement. Therefore, both tensile strength and fatigue strength decrease. Sufficient fatigue strength cannot be obtained at temperatures above 260°C. When the treatment temperature is 360°C or higher, the fatigue strength becomes relatively high, but the static strength and surface pressure resistance strength decrease. In the present invention, excellent fatigue resistance can be obtained by adding shot peening to the high hardness surface obtained at the above-mentioned treatment temperature. In this way, when shot peening is performed on a hard surface, the compressive stress generated under the surface is greater than when shot peening is performed on a soft surface.
In addition, since the stress layer also becomes deeper, the rate of improvement in fatigue strength is dramatically increased. That is, the present invention is characterized by manufacturing cast iron parts having both high surface pressure resistance and high fatigue resistance by combining cast iron parts with a specific composition and a specific treatment. The reason why the above combination is particularly excellent is not clear, but when comparing the hardness after austempering of a material with copper added and a material with copper and molybdenum added, there is almost no difference between the two. The amount of retained austenite after austempering tends to be larger in materials to which copper and molybdenum are added, and the effect of converting retained austenite into martensite by shot peening can also be expected.
Note that the melting and casting of the material is no different from the ordinary manufacturing method of spheroidal graphite cast iron, and the addition of molybdenum and copper in the furnace or in the ladle does not affect the subsequent properties. Example A spheroidal graphite cast iron material having the composition shown in the attached table was produced by casting, and in order to improve machinability, it was heat treated at 920°C for 2 hours, then at 750°C for 2 hours, and then slowly cooled.

[Table] Next, after machining to the finished dimensions,
Austempered. The austempering treatment was carried out in a batch furnace with a carburizing atmosphere containing 0.2 to 0.3% CO2 to prevent decarburization, and was heated at 920℃ for 70℃.
After austenitizing for 20 minutes, the sample was immersed in a low-temperature solder furnace containing a mixed salt bath of KNO 3 and NaNO 3 prepared in advance, rapidly cooled to a predetermined temperature, and kept constant for 2 hours. After the treatment was completed, it was washed with warm water at about 80°C, dried, and shot peened under the following conditions. Shot size: 0.8mm steel ball Shot time: 10 minutes Set conditions so that the deformation of the Almen gauge is 0.3 to 0.4mm. As a result of testing the obtained specimens, a relationship as shown in FIG. 1 was observed between the temperature of the mixed salt bath and the tensile strength. Further, the results of the rotary bending fatigue test using the Ono type rotary bending fatigue tester are as shown in FIG. 2, and it was confirmed that the sample obtained by the method of the present invention exhibited extremely excellent fatigue resistance.
