KEY WORDS:cast iron,ferritic structure,thin-wall casting By varying the compesilion within the deformation limits,the wide variation in the microstructure and in mechanical propertics of nodular cast irons can be obtained.Further structural changes for a fixed iron composition can be readily brought about by heat treatment.But this technology becomes more expensive. Relating the compsition of these alloys to their mechanical properties is there- fore arbitrarily selected melt and solidification treatment,as well as for the cooling conditions during freezing(1.But there is the problem about selecting the chemical composition of as-cast nodular cast iron for production of thin-walled castings with ferritic structure and high elongation [2).

It was our task to select suitable composition of as-cast nodular cast iron for production thin-walled castings of ferritic struclure (more than 80%ferrite) with high mechanica!properties,especially high elongation. 1 Experimental Methods The alloy compositions were selected to examine the effects of silicon on the structure formation and mechanical properties of as-cast nodular cast iron with ordinary manganese content (0.5%).Master alloys were melted in acid lined induction furnace of the capacity 20kg.Silicon and magnesium alloy were added in a ladle,stirred,and the alloy poured in sand moulds for making of wedge-shape and step-shape castings with different thicknesses of 7,12,30,45, 60mm.All alloys were bypereutectic.The alloy compositions are given in Table 1.

Castings section of 12mm with the ordinary composition of manganese (0.5%) and silicon of about 2.8%solidifies as ferrite-pearlitic structure (60%ferrite, Fig.1,a).In spite of high cooling rate,due to low percentage of manganese (0.1%)the graphitization rate of similar to cast iron for castings section of 7mm is almost the same (65%ferrite).In both case,with the increasing of silicon content the process of ferritic structure formation is highly developed. 545

Castings sections of 12mm and 7 mm with the composition of 3.2%Si,0.5%Mn and 3.0%Si,0.1%Mn accordingly represent the ferritic structure of about 80% or more (Fig.1,b).The results obtained in further investigation show that mechanical properties (especially elongation)of these compositions of as-cast nodular cast irons are maximums. The amount of ferritic structure according to the wall-thicknesses in different sections of castings is tabulated in Table 2.The effect of cooling rate on the formation of ferritic structure is illustrated in Fig.2. In nodular cast iron with 0.5%Mn (Fig.2),by the increase of silicon content and thicknesses of castings the amount of ferritic structure is increased also. But for the cast iron with 3.4%Si a slight decreasing ferritic structure within 30-60 mm of casting thicknesses is observed.When silicon contents are 2.8% and 3.2%and thicknesses of castings section is more than 30mm such a reduction of the amount of ferritic structure is observed also for nodular cast iron with low manganese content (Fig.3).This phenomenon is probably connected with reverse segregation of chemical elements present in nodular cast iron.

cast irons.Changing silicon content in the range of from 2.8%up to 3,4%,the effectiv enes of precipitation ferrile phases in small thicknesses of castings scction (Fig.4,section 7mm and 12mm)is more higher than that in the larges ones (30,45, 60mm).Intensification of ferrilic structure formation for section 30,45,60 mm of cast iron with 0.5%Mn is almost the same within 2.8~3.2%Si (Fig.4). This phenomenon may be explained by thei weak action of low manganese content on the graphitization processes. 100 100 90 80 70 059%Mn 0.1%Mn 50 40 40L 2.83.03.23.43.6 2.83.03.23.43.6 Si,94 Si, Fig.4 Effect of silicon on formation Fig.5 Effect of silicon on formation of ferritic structure:(0.5%Mn) of ferritic structure;(0.1%Mn) (1)7mm,(2)12mm,(3)30mm, (1)7mm,(2)12mm,(3)30mm, (4)45mm,(5)60mm (4)45mm,(5)60mm, 2.2 Mechanical Properties In each case of producing step-shape casting tests of different compositions for determination of structural changes,test bars of 25 mm wall-thicknesses were made simultancously.These wedge-shape were intended for a further machining standard specimens for definition of mechanical properties. The effect of silicon content on mechanical properties of nodular cast irons with 0.5%Mn and 0.1%6 Mn is illustrated in Fig.6 and Fig.7 respectively. The results obtained show that an increase in silicon content which giving rise to different variation in the matrix structure leads to a change of mechanical propertics of nodular cast irons.Increasing ratio ferrite to pearlite in nodular cast irons with 0.5%Mn by addition of silicon from 2.8%up to 3.4%leads first to an increasc,followed by a decrease in elongation,tensile strength and impact toughness,while the hardness changes in the opposite direction (Fig.6). Tensile strength and elongation of this series nodular cast iron with 3.2%Si are maximum of about 524.6N/mm and 19.8%respectively.In the second series nodular cast irons with 0.1%Mn,the silicon addition first increases after the decreases in elongation,impact strength and hardness,while tensile strength changes 548

3 Conclusions For producing of thin-walled castings two compositions of ferritic structure of nodular cast iron are obtained.Castings with wall-thicknesses 7-12 mm may be produced from alloys containing 3.9%C,3.0%Si,0.1%Mn,as well as castings of wall-thicknesses 12 mm and more from nodular cast iron containing 3.9%C, 3.2%Si,0.5%Mn.The first As-cast nodular cast iron possesses elongation of about 23.6%and tensile strength of about 489 N/mm2,the second one-20%and 525 N/mm2 accordingly.Both of these compositions of as-cast nodular cast iron may be successfully used in practice.
