摘要:
The invention relates to a method for producing a crankshaft, in special for diesel engines, wherein a crankshaft blank is produced from austempered ductile cast iron, the casting blank is subjected to heat treatment matched to the austempered ductile cast iron whereby the blank acquires high strength and hardness. According to the invention, surfaces which form bearing surfaces for connecting rods and shaft bearings are undersized before the ADI heat treatment. Following the heat treatment a coating is applied to the bearing surfaces, the layer thickness being matched to the undersize and dimensional deviations as a result of the heat treatment. The coated bearing surfaces are finally finish-machined to the finished size without the need of machining the bearing sufaces of the casting blank after the heat treatment.

Ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Werkstückes aus bainitischem Sphäroguss durch Austenitisieren und nachfolgendes Bainitisieren soll diesen verbilligen und verbessern. Es wird in folgenden Schritten vorgegangen: Austenitisieren bei einer Temperatur von 950 bis 1100° Celsius in einer C-haltigen Atmosphäre, dann Abkühlen auf Raumtemperatur, und schließlich Bainitisieren durch Erwärmen auf eine Anlasstemperatur von 150 bis 600° Celsius. Ein verbessertes Ausgangsmaterial enthält mehr C und Si und kann Ce und/oder Ca enthalten.

A machinable austempered cast iron article has improved strength, machinability, fatigue performance, and resistance to environmental cracking. A method of making the machinable austempered cast iron article includes austenitizing an iron composition having a substantially pearlitic microstructure in an intercritical temperature range of between 1380°F and 1500 °F. This produces a ferritic plus austenitic microstructure. The ferritic plus austenitic microstructure is quenched into an austempering temperature range of between 575 °F and 750 °F within 3 minutes to prevent formation of pearlite. The ferritic plus austenitic microstructure is then austempered in the austempering temperature range of between 575 °F and 750 °F to produce a microstructure of a continuous matrix of equiaxed ferrite with islands of austenite. Finally, the microstructure of the continuous matrix of equiaxed ferrite with islands of austenite is cooled to ambient temperature to produce the machinable austempered cast iron article.

An Fe-based cast product with 1.8-2.5 wt% C, 1.4-3.0% Si and 0.3-1.3% Mn which is produced by thermally treating an Fe-based cast product made by utilizing a thixocasting process using an Fe-based casting material as a casting material, said Fe-based cast product including a matrix and a large number of groups of massive fine alpha -grains dispersed in the matrix, said Fe-based cast product having a thermally-treated texture where a large number of graphite phases are dispersed in said matrix and each of said groups of fine alpha -grains, and said Fe-based cast product having a free-cutting property such that a ratio B/A of an area rate B of the graphite phases in all said groups of fine alpha -grains to an area rate A of the graphite phases in the entire thermally-treated texture is in a range of B/A ≥ 0.138. The thermal treatment is made under the conditions where, when a eutectoid temperature of said as-cast product is Te, the thermally treating temperature T is set in a range of Te ≤ T ≤ Te + 170 DEG C, and the thermally treating time t is set in a range of 20 minutes ≤ t ≤ 90 minutes, thereby providing a thermally-treated product with a free-cutting property.

摘要:
In order to produce castings from cast iron with foliated graphite, the carbon content of the cast iron can be set at between approximately 3 and 4 % by controlling the melting process by means of the type and/or operation of the melting furnace. The molten mass is then cast in a sand-casting or lost-form method. During conventional cooling, the known mechanical properties of the cooled cast are set. According to the invention, in order to improve these mechanical properties in terms of hardness and strength, the casting is released from its mould at a temperature ranging from 1100 DEG C to 800 DEG C and is immediately subjected to a cooling treatment by being blasted with an air flow in order to cool it to below 723 DEG C in a given amount of time. The casting, in selected regions, is cooled to below 723 DEG C by specific intermittent bursts of air in a relatively short amount of time in order to produce a harder structure. The cooling treatment is stopped when the temperature at the eutectoid line of the iron-carbon diagram is reached.
摘要:
A method for producing cast iron gears includes the steps of heating a blank composed of cast iron and having a teeth forming part to such a temperature that at least the teeth forming part is at least austenitized, and hot rolling the teeth forming part of the blank by pressing projecting teeth of a rolling machine against the teeth forming part which is in a hot state and within an austenitized range, while cooling the blank, thereby generating a teeth part in the teeth forming part of the blank. Hot rolling with a low plastic deformation resistance prevents lowering of strength due to the exposure of graphite particles of cast iron and occurrence of quenching cracks and rolling cracks, and improves gear accuracy.
