Present inventors' latest find, the molten iron that has added the white cast iron composition of nodulizing agent by casting forms the casting sheet, carried out heat treated after rolling should casting sheet, and can make through rolling cast iron and be the nodular cast iron that is dispersed with the excellent in workability of globular graphite.
Specifically, in the tissue of following such casting sheet, do not observe graphite, described casting sheet is to add nodulizing agent in the molten iron of the cast iron of white cast iron composition, and casting resulting then only is casting and without the casting sheet of other processing.Next, in the tissue of the cast iron that with lower temperature this casting sheet is carried out hot rolling, obtains to carry out heat treated then, observed the globular graphite tissue than higher temperature.If this cast iron is carried out bending machining, it is very excellent to judge processibility.Part or all of the outside surface of the globular graphite in this cast iron covered by ferrite, and it is good to judge the more cast iron processibility of this ferritic phase (Off worker ラ イ ト phase).Above result is the same in the cast iron of the different shape of thin plate, slab, strip etc.
In addition, latest find, not under the situation of cast iron of spherical, as to be dispersed with extension graphite at above-mentioned stone mill, obtained good processibility, and then become weakening and the good goods of noise reduction, make the casting sheet by the fused solution that has added nodulizing agent in the molten iron that is cast in the white cast iron composition, and this casting sheet is rolled, can make the cast iron of the graphite that is dispersed with extension.
Particularly, in the fused solution of the cast iron that nodulizing agent is added to the white cast iron composition, cast then resulting, only cast and be to do in the tissue of casting sheet of cast iron of other processing, do not observe graphite.Then, carry out with comparatively high temps having observed the tissue of the graphite that is dispersed with extension in the tissue of the resulting cast iron of hot rolling will casting sheet, can judge, if this cast iron is carried out bending machining, then be easy to process, and then weakening and noise reduction are good.Part or all of the outside surface of the graphite of the extension in this cast iron covered by ferrite, judges the many cast iron excellent processabilities of this ferritic phase.Above result is same in the cast iron of different shapes such as thin plate, slab, strip.
In course of hot rolling, interrupted in the tissue of the rolling casting sheet of hot rolled, observed globular graphite and with the graphite of its flattening, having confirmed at rolling and graphite viewed extension on the cast iron plate that obtains, is that the globular graphite of separating out in the heating of casting sheet or when rolling extends to form by pressure rolling.
The present invention is based on these understanding and finishes.Below the present invention is described in detail.
At first, the cast iron that is dispersed with globular graphite in the cast iron of white cast iron composition of the present invention is in a large number described.Illustrating in passing, as cast iron as described above, is the cast iron after rolling, can exemplify thin plate cast iron, slab cast iron, strip cast iron etc.So-called strip cast iron refers to the section bar, sheet pile material of sections such as bar, wire rod, guide rail material or chevron, I shape, H shape etc.In addition, use casting mold wall and the synchronization-moving continuous casting machine of casting sheet, be not rolled and the cast iron that obtains also can be included in the thin plate cast iron.In technology in the past, there is not the cast iron that forms such proterties, by obtaining the cast iron of the such proterties of the present invention, can guarantee very good processibility.
Below, be that example describes with thin plate cast iron.
Above-mentioned thin plate cast iron plate is the cast iron that has added nodulizing agent in the molten iron of white cast iron composition to be cast make the casting sheet, and carries out heat treated obtain behind rolling this casting sheet.Detailed content for manufacture method is narrated in the back.
In globular graphite of the present invention, so-called spherical and do not mean that it must is the spheroid of standard, also can have concavo-convexly on the surface, also can partly have planar portions in addition.
Next the composition that forms white cast iron is described.C and Si are the most important elements that is used to obtain white cast iron, and graphited speed is had a significant impact.If C and Si, are preferably (%C)≤4.3-1.3 * (%Si), C 〉=1.7% in satisfied (the %C)≤4.3-of quality % (%Si) ÷ 3, C 〉=1.7%, just become white cast iron.Here, (C%) the quality % of the C in the expression white cast iron, (Si%) the quality % of the Si in the expression white cast iron.Because the amount less than 1.7 quality % of C just can't obtain white cast iron, therefore be made as 1.7 quality % or its above scope.
In addition, in order to ensure processibility, the individual number density that is preferably globular graphite is at 50/mm
2Or more than it.If the 50/mm of individual number density less than of globular graphite
2, processibility worsens slightly.
The size of this globular graphite does not have special stipulation, but mostly is usually by diameter of equivalent circle at 0.4mm or below it.
In addition, for guaranteeing processibility the ferrite content of the outside surface that covers graphite is increased, being preferably ferritic in the cast iron, to occupy ratio be 70% or its above (capacity benchmark), more preferably 80~90% or its above (capacity benchmark).Ferritic occupation ratio in the cast iron is fruit less than 70% (capacity benchmark) for example, and processibility reduces slightly.
Here, the ferritic ratio of occupying in the cast iron draws by the ferritic area occupation ratio of obtaining the cast iron section.In addition, above-mentioned area occupation ratio can wait by image analysis and obtain.
And then, as cast iron composition, preferably comprise Cr 〉=0.1 quality %, Ni 〉=0.1 quality % any one or its more than.This is because contain the generation that Cr or Ni can control the graphite when making.That is, Cr has the graphited effect when suppressing casting, and Ni has the graphited effect when promoting heat treated.But because if if the amount less than 0.1 quality % of Cr and Ni just is difficult to obtain this effect, so Cr, Ni amount are preferably 0.1 quality % or more than it.In addition, higher limit is not particularly limited, and consideration cost or desired processibility etc. are suitably set and got final product.
1 kind of the particulate of dispersive globular graphite and oxide compound, sulfide, nitride or their complex chemical compound of nodulizing agent element or mutually compound more than it.Here, so-called nodulizing agent refers to employed nodulizing agent Fe-Si-Mg, Fe-Si-Mg-Ca, Fe-Si-Mg-REM, Ni-Mg etc. in the manufacturing of nodular cast iron, but is not particularly limited.
If there is the nodulizing agent element, in cast iron, will produce oxygen in element and the iron in the nodulizing agent, sulphur, nitrogen chemical combination and the particle of the oxide compound, sulfide, nitride and their complex chemical compound that generate mutually, as nuclear, will separate out globular graphite during heat treated after rolling, generate and a kind of these particulate or compound globular graphite mutually more than it.
As the concrete element of nodulizing agent, consider preferred Mg, Ca, rare earth element (REM) from nodularization facilitation effect aspect.Wherein, especially Mg is more preferably because of its effect is good especially.Therefore, as nodulizing agent, preferably contain the material of Mg, Ca, rare earth element (REM).
Above-mentioned nodulizing agent is that any one of mixture of single-element or multiple element can be brought into play this effect.
Next, thin plate of the present invention is in the thin plate of the cast iron that is formed by the composition that forms white cast iron, is dispersed with a kind or its above particulate thin plate of oxide compound, sulfide, nitride or their complex chemical compound of nodulizing agent element.
Above-mentioned thin plate cast iron plate be will in the molten iron of white cast iron composition, add the iron casting of nodulizing agent become the casting sheet, to this casting sheet be rolled and obtain rolling after carry out thin plate cast iron plate before the heat treated.Details about manufacture method describes in the back.
Because this thin plate cast iron plate does not carry out heat treated, therefore do not separate out globular graphite.Thereby, become in the thin plate of the cast iron that forms by the composition that forms white cast iron, be dispersed with a kind or its above particulate state of oxide compound, sulfide, nitride or their complex chemical compound of nodulizing agent element.In addition, for the effect of the composition, nodulizing agent element, Cr and the Ni that form white cast iron etc., same as described above.
In addition, if these particulate number density less than 50/mm
2, the generation of the globular graphite during thermal treatment will become slowly slightly, and the density of the globular graphite of Sheng Chenging also reduces slightly simultaneously, and, because globular graphite becomes thick so damages processibility easily.Thereby a particulate number density is preferably 50/mm
2Or more than it.
And then if above-mentioned particulate diameter less than 0.05 μ m works as the nuclear of globular graphite with regard to being difficult to, if surpass 5 μ m, it is thick that the globular graphite of generation will become, and damages processibility easily, so the particulate diameter is preferably 0.05 μ m~5 μ m.Here, the meaning of so-called particulate diameter is the particulate diameter of equivalent circle.
And then, casting sheet of the present invention is identical with the thin plate of above-mentioned heat treated after not being rolled, be in the casting sheet of the cast iron that forms by the composition that forms white cast iron, be dispersed with a kind or its above particulate casting sheet of oxide compound, sulfide, nitride or their complex chemical compound of nodulizing agent element.
Above-mentioned casting sheet carries out castibility to the cast iron that has added nodulizing agent in the molten iron of white cast iron composition and becomes the casting sheet to obtain.About manufacture method, be described in detail in the back.For this casting sheet, also identical with the above-mentioned thin plate that does not carry out heat treated after rolling, do not separate out globular graphite.
Therefore, become in the thin plate of the cast iron that the composition by white cast iron forms, be dispersed with a kind or its above particulate state of oxide compound, sulfide, nitride or their complex chemical compound of nodulizing agent element.For the effect of the composition, nodulizing agent element, Cr and the Ni that form white cast iron etc., same as described above in addition.
The manufacturing of casting sheet, though ingot bar casting or continuous casting can, therefore the tendency of the more little easy more generation of speed of cooling when graphite has casting is preferably made by the continuous casting of having used the water-cooled copper mold.If because cast thickness increases in continuous casting, the speed of cooling at central part place will reduce, the thickness that therefore casts the casting sheet of gained continuously is preferably 1~400mm.
Specifically, if make with the bar strip continuous casting machine making under the situation of thin plate, just can obtain thickness and be the casting sheet about 30~120mm; And if then cast with the biobelt of the mobile casting mold that has used so-called band or roller, short band, the bitubular, a short tube casting machine, just can obtain thickness and be the casting sheet (perhaps be called thin plate also can) about 1~30mm.
Next, the manufacture method to casting sheet of the present invention describes.
At first, in the molten iron of white cast iron composition, add nodulizing agent and carry out melting.Here, the white cast iron composition as previously mentioned.In addition, if the nodulizing agent that adds preferably uses Mg, Ca or REM a kind or more than it, then can promote nodularization aspect tell on.The interpolation of nodulizing agent waits with casting ladle or tundish usually to be carried out.In addition, the addition of nodulizing agent so long as can make the thin plate of the finished product guarantee that the amount of good processibility gets final product, does not have special stipulation, suits to set by pretesting to get final product, but is about 0.02 quality % with respect to molten iron usually.
And then with respect to molten iron, preferably add Cr 〉=0.1 quality %, Ni 〉=0.1 quality % any one or its more than.For the interpolation of Cr and Ni, also same as described above, wait with casting ladle or tundish usually and carry out.
By casting the molten iron after the melting in this wise, can obtain casting sheet of the present invention.Castmethod gets final product so long as have the method that can obtain the speed of cooling of white cast iron by casting on material all, does not have special stipulation.And then speed of cooling is also influenced by casting condition, therefore is not particularly limited, and is fit to as long as set.But, because the big words of speed of cooling just generate white cast iron easily, so preferred.
Therefore, when making this casting sheet, also can use common casting molds such as sand mold to cast, but, therefore preferably make with the bigger continuous casting machine of speed of cooling because graphite has the tendency of the more little easy more generation of speed of cooling.And then by using continuous casting machine, its productivity increases, can the qurer manufacturing.
In addition, in the present invention, at first only obtaining white cast iron and be organized as prerequisite by casting, this is because the graphite that primary crystal, eutectic generated when solidifying is thicker, thereby the cause that will stop this crystal to be separated out.And then, because in the graphite that when casting, is generated, according to the speed of cooling difference, the state of the generation of graphite changes, therefore will be created in inhomogeneous on the thickness direction on the size of graphite or number, near the possibility that particularly produces thick graphite the thickness central part will be very high.
In addition, if had graphite in the casting sheet, when rolling casting sheet was made iron plate, by rolling, graphite will form laminar, and therefore this laminar graphite can damage processibility etc. with layered distribution, therefore must make the casting sheet not generate graphite.
Relative therewith, the method according to this invention, by being cast in the molten iron of the nodulizing agent that has added elements such as containing Mg, Ca, REM in the molten iron, just can indigenous graphite in resulting casting sheet, there are oxygen in element and the iron in the above-mentioned nodulizing agent, sulphur, nitrogen chemical combination and the particle of the oxide compound, sulfide, nitride and their complex chemical compound that generate mutually dispersedly.
In addition, in the continuous casting of cast iron, normally used is the casting mold of graphite or refractory body, but speed of cooling is less like this, thereby generates graphite easily, and the growth of solidified shell is also relatively slower, so the casting of white cast iron is very difficult.
That is, white cast iron because in the continuous casting of common cast iron in the employed graphite casting mould carbon can be dissolved in the molten iron, so the loss of casting mold is very violent, can't cast for a long time; Perhaps because its solid-liquid coexisting region of white cast iron is bigger, therefore in graphite casting mould the intensity of solidified shell a little less than, splash easily, be difficult to cast.
Therefore, just speed of cooling can be increased, the generation of the graphite in the sheet can be prevented to cast by using the water-cooled copper mold, thus preferred.And then, by promoting the generation of solidified shell, can be for a long time, continuous casting stably, casting speed also can increase than the casting speed of the casting mold that uses graphite or refractory body, and productivity increases.
Graphite has the big more tendency that generates of being difficult to more of the speed of cooling in when casting.Thereby, in order not generate graphite, preferably use the big continuous casting machine of speed of cooling.Specifically, the preferred continuous casting machine that has used the common water-cooled copper casting mold that in the continuous casting of steel, is adopted that utilizes, more preferably bar strip continuous casting machine, perhaps casting mold wall and the synchronization-moving continuous casting machine of casting sheet.
The thickness of casting resulting casting sheet with the continuous casting machine of the slab that used the common water-cooled copper casting mold that is adopted in the continuous casting of steel or blank is about 120~400mm, the thickness of casting resulting casting sheet with the bar strip continuous casting machine is about 30~120mm, and then, cast and the thickness of the casting sheet that obtains (perhaps be called thin plate also can) is about 1~30mm with the biobelt of the mobile casting mold that has used so-called band or roller, short band, the bitubular, short tube casting machine.
In addition, under the situation of making bar-shaped product, also can use the continuous casting machine of the steel billet of section to cast with square or circle.The foursquare length of side of section or the circular diameter of the casting sheet of this moment are about 75~250mm.
In casting sheet, can not generate graphite as described above by method manufacturing of the present invention.Therefore, above-mentioned casting sheet carry out hot rolling, according to circumstances so the rate of compression (draught) of carrying out cold rolling the time can increase.
At this, when rolling, under the situation of making thin plate cast iron, heat with process furnace with continuous casting or by the casting sheet of die casting, perhaps, also when high temperature, it is taken out, carry out hot rolling and form the band steel with roughing mill and finishing mill, batch to coiled material by reeling machine then and form hot-rolled sheet, according to circumstances different, the hot-rolled sheet that will batch sometimes to web shaped (coil shape) launches to carry out pickling, and all then cold-rolling mills carry out cold rolling, batch again to the coiled material shape forms cold-reduced sheet, thereby obtain thin plate cast iron.
In addition, under the situation of similarly making slab cast iron, to heat with process furnace by the casting sheet that continuous casting or mould etc. are cast, use heavy plate rolling machine repeat-rolling on length direction, width then as required, make the flat board of the size of regulation, cool off then and obtain slab cast iron.
And then, under the situation of making bar shaped cast iron, to heat with process furnace by the casting sheet that continuous casting or mould etc. are cast, be configured as the shape material of the section of bar-shaped, wire, guide rail shape or chevron, I shape, H shape etc. with roughing mill, intermediate rolling machine, the finishing mill of the hole shape roller of shape with regulation, cut into the length of regulation or batch and be the coiled material shape, thereby obtain strip cast iron.
In the cast iron after rolling, do not have indigenous graphite, keeping oxygen in the element that disperses to have in the above-mentioned nodulizing agent and the iron, sulphur, nitrogen chemical combination and the particulate state of the oxide compound, sulfide, nitride and their complex chemical compound that generate mutually.
And then, by to by rolling that obtain, do not generate graphite, keep the constant cast iron of state after rolling to carry out heat treated generating globular graphite, just can produce the nodular cast iron that does not have the distribution of laminar graphite laminate ground.
After rolling, carried out in the cast iron of heat treated, with the oxygen in the element in the dispersive nodulizing agent and the iron, sulphur, nitrogen chemical combination and the particle of the oxide compound, sulfide, nitride and their complex chemical compound that generate is a nuclear mutually, generate globular graphite by thermal treatment, therefore graphite disperses equably, and granule number is more thereby more small.Like this, disperse imperceptibly, just can obtain the cast iron of excellent in workability by making globular graphite.According to the thickness or the material of desired goods, can suitably select hot rolling and cold rolling.
If under the situation that does not have the nodulizing agent element, even carry out heat treated after rolling, graphite can not become globular graphite yet, but becomes bulk or roll into a ball cotton-shaped graphite, and greying also needs for a long time.Relative therewith, can carry out globular graphiteization with the heat treated of short period of time.
In addition, explanation in the above be that heat treated keeps state after rolling not do the method for the cast iron of other processing, but for example cast and obtain with the biobelt of the mobile casting mold that has used so-called band or roller, short band, the bitubular, short tube casting machine, thickness is in the casting sheet (perhaps become thin plate also can) about 1~30mm, can be not rolling under the situation that does not have rolling necessity and carry out heat treated yet.
In the time of hot rolled, if rolling temperature surpasses 900 ℃, just cause the generation of graphite easily, therefore be preferably 900 ℃ or below it.By rolling temperature being controlled at 900 ℃ or below it, just can obtain not generating in the plate after rolling the cast iron of graphite more definitely.In addition, for the heating before rolling too,, just cause the generation of graphite easily, therefore be preferably 900 ℃ or below it if Heating temperature surpasses 900 ℃.
Next, the heat treated temperature behind cast iron rolling is described.The heat treated here, its purpose is to promote globular graphiteization, if the heat treated temperature at 900 ℃ or below it, globular graphiteization will need for a long time, and is therefore preferred above 900 ℃.Yet though the upper limit of heat treated temperature does not have special stipulation, if surpass 1150 ℃, its intensity just descends, and heat treated distortion (deformity) just increases easily, therefore preferably at 1150 ℃ or carry out heat treated below it.
And then, the heat treated time behind cast iron rolling is described.In the present invention,, therefore can carry out the globular graphiteization in the short period of time, have the heating that surpasses 60 minutes, the situation that graphite will increase owing to be added with nodulizing agent.Under the situation that has such danger,, be preferably 60 minutes or below it as the heat treated time after rolling.The method according to this invention even carried out 60 minutes or the heat treated below it, also can obtain small graphite dispersive cast iron equably.
The part of the outside surface of the graphite after the heat treated of the cast iron after in the present invention, rolling or casting sheet of thinner thickness etc. or all covered by ferrite.If the speed of cooling after the above-mentioned heat treated is very fast, before forming ferrite fully, just to cool off, ferritic amount will reduce.
Thereby, in order to increase the ferritic ratio in the cast iron, importantly guarantee to be used for time of changing to ferrite, preferably temporarily remain on 730~650 ℃ in the process of cooling after above-mentioned heat treated, for example preferably keep about 30 minutes~1 hour.In addition, as other method, in above-mentioned process of cooling, preferably slowly cool off during from 730 ℃ to 300 ℃, this speed of cooling preferably is made as 10 ℃/min or its following speed of cooling.And then, also can all carry out two aspects.
If surpass 730 ℃, ferrite just is difficult to stable existence; If, just be difficult to generate ferrite in addition less than 300 ℃.In addition, if surpass the speed of cooling of 10 ℃/min, ferritic amount just reduces easily.
Next, team's cast iron of being dispersed with the graphite of extension in the cast iron of the composition of white cast iron of the present invention in a large number describes.
The graphite that a large amount of dispersive extend, because globular graphite extends to form because of rolling, so graphite and ferritic interface be slick, each is self-existent naturally.
In the prior art, there is not the technology that forms such proterties, by obtaining cast iron, can guarantees good processibility, and then can guarantee good damping property and noise reduction as proterties of the present invention.
If thickization of graphite of extending will be damaged processibility, so the preferred 0.4mm of the width of graphite or below it, the preferred 50mm of length or below it.
Because therefore the part of the excircle of the graphite of the extension in this cast iron or all covered by ferrite can further improve processibility.In addition, for guaranteeing processibility, the ferrite content of the outside surface that covers graphite is increased, the shared ratio of the ferrite in the cast iron is preferably 70% or its above (capacity benchmark), and more preferably 80~90% or its above (capacity benchmark).If the shared ratio of the ferrite in the cast iron is less than 70% (capacity benchmark), processibility will reduce slightly.Here, the ferritic ratio of occupying in the cast iron draws by the ferritic area occupation ratio of obtaining the cast iron section.In addition, above-mentioned area occupation ratio can wait by image analysis and obtain.
In the prior art, there is not the technology that forms such proterties,, can guarantees good processibility by obtaining cast iron as proterties of the present invention.
Above-mentioned cast iron is that the fused solution that will add nodulizing agent in the molten iron of white cast iron composition is cast as the casting sheet, will cast the sheet hot rolling again and obtain.Details for manufacture method describes in the back.
In addition, form the composition of white cast iron, satisfy the composition of following condition in quality %: (%C)≤4.3-(%Si) ÷ 3, C 〉=1.7%, be preferably (%C)≤4.3-1.3 * (%Si), C 〉=1.7%, this point is identical with record content in the nodular cast iron.
And then, as cast iron composition, preferably containing any a kind or more than it of Cr 〉=0.1 quality %, Ni 〉=0.1 quality %, this point is also identical with record content in the nodular cast iron.
1 kind of the particulate of the graphite of the extension that is scattered here and there and the oxide compound of nodulizing agent, sulfide, nitride or their complex chemical compound or mutually compound more than it.Here, so-called nodulizing agent refers to employed nodulizing agent Fe-Si-Mg, Fe-Si-Mg-Ca, Fe-Si-Mg-REM, Ni-Mg etc. in the manufacturing of nodular cast iron, but is not particularly limited.
If there is the nodulizing agent element, in cast iron, will produce oxygen in element and the iron in the nodulizing agent, sulphur, nitrogen chemical combination and the particle of the oxide compound, sulfide, nitride and their complex chemical compound that generate mutually, as nuclear, heating before rolling, indigenous graphite when rolling, generate and a kind of these particulate or compound graphite mutually more than it, such and particle compound graphite mutually are extended in rolling.
As the concrete element of nodulizing agent, from the preferred Mg in nodularization facilitation effect aspect, Ca, rare earth element (REM).Wherein, because this effect of Mg is good especially thereby be more preferably.Thereby,, preferably contain the material of Mg, Ca, rare earth element (REM) as nodulizing agent.
Above-mentioned nodulizing agent is that any one of mixture of single-element or multiple element can be brought into play this effect.
In addition, for the casting fused solution and the proterties of the casting sheet that obtains, the manufacture method of casting sheet, also the situation with the cast iron that is dispersed with globular graphite is identical in the situation of the cast iron of the graphite that is dispersed with extension.
In casting sheet made according to the method for the present invention, though do not generate graphite as mentioned above, will generate graphite by heating before suitably being rolled and the heating when rolling, but therefore can make it to have the intensity of pressure rolling, make hot rolling become possibility, can make various cast irons.
Promptly, because in the time of heating, hot rolled, with the oxygen in the element in the dispersive nodulizing agent and the iron, sulphur, nitrogen chemical combination and the particle of the oxide compound, sulfide, nitride and their complex chemical compound that generate is a nuclear mutually, generate globular graphite, so it is graphite disperses equably, amounts of particles is more, therefore more small.Like this, because globular graphite is disperseed imperceptibly, therefore can carry out hot rolling at an easy rate.
And then, being dispersed with the graphite that has extended in the cast iron after rolling, they are that not get in touch ground self-existent.In addition, graphite and ferritic interface are slick.Disperse by the graphite that makes extension like this, can obtain the cast iron of excellent in workability.Can suitably select thereafter cold rolling according to the thickness of required goods and material.
If under the non-existent situation of nodulizing agent element, graphite can not form globular graphite when rolling, but become bulk or roll into a ball cotton-shaped graphite, on graphite that has extended and ferritic interface, will produce concavo-convexly when rolling or form mesh-shape, therefore will generate in the time of hot rolled and break, the processibility of milled sheet etc. will suffer damage.
In the time of hot rolled, Heating temperature and rolling temperature are under 900 ℃ or the situation below it before rolling, and the generation of graphite will be difficult to take place, and therefore is preferably above 900 ℃.Make rolling before heating or rolling temperature surpass 900 ℃, rolling before the just generation easily of generation of graphite during heating or when rolling, the graphite that can obtain extending is dispersive cast iron imperceptibly.Here, rolling before the preferred higher limit of Heating temperature and rolling temperature do not have special stipulation, as long as suitably set, but common at iron 1150 ℃ of fusing points or carry out below it.
Extension in this cast iron graphite periphery a part or all covered by ferrite, so processibility further increases.In addition, for guaranteeing processibility, the ferrite content of the outside surface that covers graphite is increased, as described above, the ferritic area occupation ratio of section is preferably 70% or more than it.
If the speed of cooling after the hot rolling is too fast, will before fully forming ferrite, just cool off, ferrite content will reduce.Thereby, in order to increase the ferritic ratio in the cast iron, importantly guarantee after hot rolling, to be used for time of changing to ferrite, preferably temporarily remain on 730~650 ℃ in the process of cooling after above-mentioned heat treated, for example preferably keep about 30 minutes~1 hour.In addition, as other method, in above-mentioned process of cooling, preferably slowly cooling during 730 ℃ to 300 ℃, this speed of cooling preferably is made as the following speed of cooling of 10 ℃/min or its.And then, also can all carry out two aspects.
If surpass 730 ℃, ferrite just is difficult to stable existence; If, just be difficult to generate ferrite in addition less than 300 ℃.In addition, if surpass the speed of cooling of 10 ℃/min, ferritic amount just reduces easily.
At the cast iron after the hot rolling is under the situation of thin plate, also can batch to be the coiled material shape, and increase in order to make ferrite content this time, because can slowly cool off by being taken as the wire rod shape at 750~550 ℃ temperature last volume, so preferred.The speed of cooling of this situation can be made as 10 ℃/min or below it usually.
If surpass 750 ℃, batch again in rolling end and just to be easy to become difficulty, on the other hand, if batch during less than 550 ℃, ferrite content just reduces easily.
In addition, also can be further carry out cold rolling to the cast iron of the above-mentioned graphite that is dispersed with extension that obtains by hot rolling like that as required.
Because the graphite that extends absorbs vibration easily, therefore can make the cast iron of comparing damping property and noise reduction excellence with nodular cast iron.
