Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a grey cast iron alloy. More specifically, the present invention concerns a pearlitic grey cast iron comprising further alloying elements for improved fatigue strength.
  • the invention further concerns an internal combustion engine component, cast from grey cast iron alloy according to the invention.
  • Grey cast iron is a most attractive material for e.g. internal combustion engine blocks for vehicles due to a relatively low cost and yet good to excellent performance.
  • Compositions within quite a wide range are previously known, such compositions normally being a compromise between properties, such as tensile strength, wear properties etc., of the material as used and production properties, such as cost, machinability etc.
  • a base material 0120 has a composition according to Table 1 below and a common standard alloy has a composition also according to Table 1, the Scania standard alloy providing a grey cast iron with a pearlitic structure and a sound (pore free) material due to a comparatively high carbon content.
  • Fig. 1 shows Wöhler fatigue curves for a base alloy, a standard alloy and an alloy according to the invention.
  • the alloy according to the present invention is a grey cast iron having a pearlitic structure, the carbon content being 3.2 - 3.49 %.
  • the comparatively high carbon content promotes a sound structure.
  • additives of 0.1- 0.4 % molybdenum, 0.03 - 0.3 % vanadium, 0.007 - 0.015 % titanium and ⁇ 0.15 % niobium act, in addition to their carbide forming properties, as nuclei providing a fine pearlitic and flake graphite structure as cast (both as primary and secondary precipitated carbides). Molybdenum also stabilises pearlite at elevated temperatures.
  • Silicon is present in an amount of 1.8 - 2.2 % promoting grey iron formation.
  • 0.3 - 0.8 % manganese is present as a pearlite stabilizing agent.
  • Copper here in an amount of 0.3 - 1.0 %, promotes pearlite formation and stabilizes the pearlite and also promotes the fine structure formation.
  • the content of sulphur and phosphorus should be held below 0.15 %.
  • Nitrogen 0.005 - 0.017 %, compacts flake graphite and promotes pearlite formation.
  • the grey cast iron alloy further comprises iron and normal impurities to balance.
  • the amounts of titanium, nitrogen and aluminium are in the normal impurity range but may be preferred.
  • Fatigue test samples were taken from each casting and fatigue tests were performed.
  • the grey cast irons according to the invention offer about 40 % higher fatigue strength than a grey cast iron base alloy and about 30 % higher fatigue strength than a standard engine block grey cast iron and still offering a grey cast iron which fulfils high performance with respect to machinability, soundness, etc.
  • the grey cast iron alloy according to the invention is extremely useful for internal combustion cast engine components, such as engine block components, the alloy combining machinability, soundness and high fatigue strength.
  • the alloy is also useful for other components such as cylinder heads, etc.
  • Table 1 Grey cast iron compositions, % by weight, according to prior art and the invention Alloy Compound Base 0120 Standard alloy Invention in general Preferred embodiment Example alloy 3 of Fig.
