TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of materials, in particular to low - temperature impact - resistant high - strength as - cast nodular cast iron and a production method thereof.
BACKGROUND Nodular cast iron which is an important metal structure material is applied increasingly widely in the fields of automobile, machine, ship and the like. Some mechanical components, for example, an automobile crankshaft, not only require higher strength, but also possess higher toughness. At present, high - strength and high - toughness nodular cast iron is obtained primarily by heat treatment which is high in cost, complex in process and low in rate of finished products. Therefore, it is of great practical significance in producing high - strength and high - toughness nodular cast iron as cast condition. There are still some machines and components and parts work in a high and cold environment for a long time, for example, a transmission, a wheel hub and a base of a wind power device, railway and metro accessories, locomotive and vehicle accessories, accessories of petroleum and petrochemical equipment. These nodular iron castings require better low - temperature performance simultaneously. At present, the market requirement on the low - temperature high - toughness nodular iron castings is higher and higher. In a standard GB1348 - 2009 in China, a low - temperature impact performance requirement is only stipulated for nodular cast iron materials with two low trade marks QT350 - 22L and QT400 - 18L. The toughness of the nodular cast iron is decreased while the trade mark is increased, the low - temperature toughness is lower, so that an application requirement cannot be met. Therefore, the low - temperature impact performance requirement is not stipulated by nodular cast iron standards at home and abroad on trade marks higher than QT450 - 10.

A smelting temperature of the electric furnace ranges from 1530°C to 1550°C.
The molten iron in the step 3 is left to stand for 5 - 10 minutes at a high temperature before iron is made, and drossing and slagging are carried out.
The nodulizing treatment method in the step 4 is a tundish - cover nodulizing process: a dam type nodulised ladle, a height of a dam is 30 - 50 mm higher than a charging height, a ladle cover and a ladle top are compacted by a hermetical refractory material, a depth - diameter ratio is 1.5 - 2, the ladle is preheated to over 800°C before use, and the nodulizing agent, the inoculant and a small steel sheet are dried before use.

A pitch time from tapping and nodulizing to ending of pouring of whole ladle molten iron is not longer than 10 minutes.
Ni is not added and heat treatment is not needed in manufacturing the material, the as cast condition tensile strength Rm is greater than or equal to 450 MPa and the ductility A is greater than or equal to 18%. The mean value of the impact energy of the separately casted sample with Charpy (V - shaped notch) among the three samples at a low temperature of 20°C below zero is not smaller than 12J, and an individual value is not smaller than 9J; the mean value of the impact energy of the separately casted sample with Charpy (V - shaped notch) among the three samples at a low temperature of 40°C below zero is not smaller than 9J, and an individual value is not smaller than 8J. Normal temperature performance and low - temperature performance are both superior to those of a trade mark QT400 - 18L. According to the low - temperature impact - resistant high - strength as - cast nodular cast iron produced by the method, by taking high purity pig iron and pure medium - and low - carbon scrap steel as a raw material and modifying the raw material with a high quality nodulizing agent and an inoculant, a casting is high in nodulizing rate, fine and close in tissue, good in mechanical property and good in low - temperature resistance by means of component optimization, process improvement, rhythm production and the like.

|. The nodulizing rate and the number of graphite are increased.
(1) High purity pig iron is used, so that the purity of the raw material is improved; the contents of S and other anti - nodulizing elements are controlled strictly, so that the adding amount of the nodulizing agent and the Mgresiauat content in the casting are reduced while it is nodulised well, and the chilling tendency is reduced.
(2) Coverage the nodulizing agent is improved. Charging is performed according to a sequence of the nodulizing agent, the inoculant and the small steel sheet, each layer is flattened and tamped by using a flat hammer, and the upper coverage layer is improved into the small steel sheet from scrap iron, so that the smelting point of the coverage layer is improved and the nodulizing response time is prolonged, and therefore, the nodulizing reaction is performed under a condition with a certain iron hydraulic pressure head. Thus, the loss of iron scale of Mg is reduced and the absorptivity of Mg reaches over 70%. Finally, MQresiduar is kept between 0.025% to 0.045%, thereby the nodulizing action of Mg is exerted fully.
(3) The content of RE is reduced. Rare earth (RE) plays a role of counteracting adverse effect of the anti - nodulizing elements on graphite nodulizing, and meanwhile, the rare earth elements (primarily Ce) easily promote the graphite to be bulked and agglomerated. A too large RE content affects the rounding degree of the graphite nodules, so that the RE content shall be lowered properly to further improve the number of the spherical graphite. As the content of the anti - nodulizing trace elements in the high purity pig iron is controlled strictly, a low RE nodulizing agent is selected. In order to make the bulk graphite not exceed 20%, the RE content in the nodulizing agent is between 0.5% and 1.5%.
(4) In order to improve the absorptivity of magnesium, when the RE content in the nodulizing agent is 1% under an electric furnace production condition, it is determined that the magnesium content is about 6%.
(5) In order to improve the content of effective magnesium in the nodulizing agent to improve the nodulizing effect, it is stipulated that the content of MgO in the nodulizing agent does not exceed 1/10 of the magnesium content thereof.
According to the above factors, it is finally determined that the nodulizing agent Mg6RE1 is composed of the following components by weight: 5.5 - 6.5% of Mg, 0.5 - less than 1.5% of RE,
1.5 - 3.0% of Ca, 35 - 45% of Si, less than or equal to 1.0% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.5% of Ti, less than or equal to 0.65% of MgO and less than or equal to 0.5% of Al.
(6) Drossing is performed in time after nodulizing treatment, so that a “resulphurization” phenomenon is reduced.
(7) The time from nodulizing treatment to pouring does not exceed 8 minutes.
By means of fine proportioning and strict processing operation, the nodulizing rate is increased to over grade 2, and the bulk graphite is lower than 20%.
II. The purity of molten iron is improved.
(1) Inclusions are reduced from the source by using the clean raw material, and a strict control standard is formulated for chemical components and physical states of furnace charges.
(2) The molten iron is subjected to “self - deoxidizing” reaction at the time by high - temperature standing treatment, so that the molten iron is oxidized and the oxidizing slag inclusion tendency is reduced greatly, and it becomes high - temperature lowly oxidized high quality molten iron.
(3) As the absorptivity of Mg is improved, the effective Mg content in the nodulizing agent is improved and the content of the anti - nodulizing elements in the high purity pig iron is reduced, the adding amount of the nodulizing agent is reduced and the slagging amount is reduced.
{4) By using the patent of our factory to cover the ladle, the nodulizing treatment is performed in a relatively closed ladle and contact with external air is reduced, so that oxidizing slag inclusion is reduced.
(5) Drossing and deslagging of the original molten iron are performed before nodulizing, and full drossing is performed in timely after nodulizing.
Ill. The inoculating effect is enhanced. Inoculation fade is prevented effectively through nodulizing ladle bottom Si - Ba inoculation, ladle - to - ladle inoculation and metal - stream Si - Bi thrice inoculation. The Si - Ba alloy long - acting inoculant prolongs the fading time. An Si - Bi alloy inoculant is used in metal - stream inoculation, so that the number of graphite nodules is increased greatly, and the solidification quality is improved. The comprehensive performance of ductile iron is improved correspondingly, and shrinkage cavity, shrinkage porosity and chilling tendency are reduced.
IV. Components are optimized, including reasonable chemical components and matrix tissues. According to influence of chemical elements to casting tissues and performance, the reasonable chemical components of the casting is determined by researches for many times, and a narrow scope control production scheme determined according to a wall thickness and a pouring temperature of the casting, the matrix tissues of QT450 - 18L in the table 3, mechanical properties in the table 1 and the low - temperature performance in the table 2 are guaranteed. The chemical component scheme is described in a technical scheme below in detail.
V. Raw materials are improved. The raw materials are optimized by fully considering influence of trace interfering nodulizing elements, and the value K of the anti - nodulizing elements is controlled strictly to be smaller than 1 +/- 0.1; the nodulizing agent and the inoculant are improved, the alloy Si - Bi compound inoculant is selected for metal - stream inoculation and is cooperated with a material plant to research the nodulizing agent MgBRE1, and the components are optimized and adjusted; the furnace charge is purified, and is clean and rustless; measures of regulating C by using a high - temperature graphitized crystal carburant are and the like employed.
VI. Rhythm production is performed. Standardized management must be carried out on the above - mentioned production method, the shakeout temperature is consistent by rhythm production, it is ensured that the time from nodulizing to pouring does not exceed 8 minutes, and in order for actual control of production, the pitch time from tapping and nodulizing to whole ladle molten iron pouring does not exceed 10 minutes.
By carrying out the above - mentioned measures, the comprehensive indexes of the casting are improved greatly. The nodulizing rate is greater than or equal to 90%, and bulk graphite does not exceed 20%.
Precious metal such as Ni is added into a casting produced by the present invention to temper and heat treatment is not carried out, so that the cost is lower. As the nodular cast iron as cast condition has higher strength and toughness as well as excellent low - temperature impact performance, the nodular cast iron is suitable for low - temperature working environments with higher mechanical properties, and the service life is prolonged.
