Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a casting by means of a modification body.
  • the modification body is used to produce cast iron with spheroidal graphite, in particular with a predominantly ferritic structure, containing a carrier material, preferably an iron-silicon alloy.
  • Cast iron generally contains between 2 to 4 percent by weight of carbon.
  • the carbon is intimately mixed with the iron and the shape that the carbon takes in the solidified cast iron defines the characteristics and properties of the cast iron pieces.
  • the carbon takes the form of graphite, the cast iron is rather soft and machinable.
  • Graphite can come in different forms. Cast iron with spheroidal graphite has a high strength, whereby the structure types must be taken into account. Cast iron with spheroidal graphite that has a purely ferritic structure and therefore does not contain any cementite is soft and easy to work with. Whereas cast iron with spheroidal graphite and a pearlitic structure has good wear properties due to its high strength. A pearlitic / ferritic structure in turn has a higher strength than a purely ferritic structure.
  • the undesirably high pearlite content in the cast part is supported by accelerated cooling.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a method for producing spheroidal graphite cast iron which, by reducing the pearlite structure in the cast iron or cast part, ensures lower hardness and higher elongation at break without making the cast iron or cast parts more expensive to manufacture.
  • a modification body which contains 7 to 16 percent by weight boron. Furthermore, at least one modification body according to the invention is inserted into the casting system, where it is flowed around by the cast iron or the melt, or at least one modification body according to the invention is added to the melt before casting and dissolved by it. As a result, a casting made of spheroidal graphite cast iron is produced which has a boron content of 0.002-0.008 percent by weight.
  • the pearlite-reducing effect of boron is known, but has so far been considered negative in the production of cast iron with spheroidal graphite, since microporosity and carbides can occur if the boron content is too high, which are serious if it exceeds 0.01 percent by weight and, if it is increased further, severe graphite degeneration occurs .
  • At least one modification body according to the invention which has a boron content of 7 to 16 percent by weight is provided inserted into the casting system of a casting after casting.
  • cast iron or melt flows around the modification body and continuously releases boron, which is absorbed by the cast iron.
  • at least one modification body is inserted into the casting system before casting.
  • several modification bodies can also be arranged in the casting system; this is to be selected according to the required boron content in the casting.
  • a cast part made of spheroidal graphite cast iron has a boron content of 0.002-0.008 percent by weight, which suppresses or reduces the formation of pearlite and the desired hardness and elongation at break properties are achieved.
  • At least one of the modification bodies is arranged between the sprue and filter before casting and the cast iron or melt flows around it during casting.
  • At least one modification body can also be added directly to the cast iron or the melt prior to casting.
  • the number and arrangement of the modification bodies is selected according to the required boron content in the casting or the desired hardness and elongation at break.
  • the cast piece according to the invention with spheroidal graphite produced by the method according to the invention preferably has a predominantly ferritic structure.
  • the method according to the invention and the use of the modification body according to the invention produce a cast piece made of spheroidal graphite which preferably does not exceed a Brinell hardness of 170 HB.
  • a Brinell hardness of 140-170 HB has proven to be advantageous.
  • the structure of the cast piece made of spheroidal graphite is preferably predominantly ferritic.
  • a melt of spheroidal graphite cast iron has an Mn content of 0.35% by weight due to contaminated steel scrap as input material and is therefore too high for the desired application, since according to the present analysis instructions a maximum Mn content of 0.25% by weight. -% is permissible.
  • the excessively high Mn content in the existing melt or cast iron resulted in a Brinell hardness of 190 HB instead of the maximum 170 HB, which is permissible according to the regulations.
  • FIG. 1 a schematic representation of a casting system with a modification body according to the invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a casting system 1 wherein the modification body 6 according to the invention is arranged in front of the filter 3, which is a possible arrangement of the modification body 6 shows.
  • the melt of cast iron with spheroidal graphite is introduced into the casting system 1 via the sprue 2.
  • the melt flows around the modification body 6 and absorbs the desired amount of boron from it.
  • the melt then flows through the filter 3 in order to filter out unwanted impurities.
  • the melt in the subsequent feeder 4 is used to continuously replenish the melt in the casting 5 during cooling.
