<Effect> In this way, by adding an appropriate amount of bismuth, the number of graphite grains is increased to 300 pieces/mm2 or more, thereby reducing pearlite and achieving sufficient elongation and high strength without heat treatment at low temperature and short time.

As clearly shown in both figures, cast iron (7) has lower tensile strength and yield strength than FCD40, but is superior in elongation and impact value. In particular, a good impact value at low temperatures (-40°C) of about 1.7 kgf'*rn/cm2 can be obtained. In addition, FCD4 with low silicon content wL%
0, the tensile strength and yield strength are high due to the large amount of pearlite, but the elongation and impact value are significantly low. Furthermore, FCD40 containing bismuth has finer graphite and more ferrite structures, but has lower elongation and impact value than cast iron (7). In particular, it can be seen that the impact value at low temperatures of -40°C is significantly higher for cast iron (7).

It contains residual iron and unavoidable impurities, and the addition rate of bismuth is adjusted to bring the table rate to 0°0.
Casting was performed by varying the amount from 0.010 wt% to 0.0096 wt%.

As shown in FIG. 10, which is a graph of the graphite nodularization rate against the bismuth content determined from FIG.
When the content of each component was within the range of wL%, the graphite nodularity was 80% or more, and desirable results were obtained. In particular, the bismuth content is between 0.0015vt% and 0.0015vt%. In the range of 0.004 wL%, the graphite nodularity is 90% or more, and there is relatively no variation in the graphite nodularity.

Here, if the bismuth content is less than 0.0015 wL%, there is a concern that chill will occur, and if it exceeds 0.004 wt%, the graphite nodularity rate will decrease rapidly, especially if the bismuth content is 0.008 wL%. If it exceeds %, the graphite spheroidization rate will be 8.
If it is less than 0%, the desired amount of spheroidal graphite cannot be obtained, and the impact strength and elongation of cast iron at low temperatures are significantly deteriorated. At this time, the table ratio of bismuth is 0.0015wt% - "0.008v
In order to keep it within the t% range, 0.0% bismuth is added to the molten metal during casting.

In addition, magnesium in the component promotes the spheroidization of graphite, but sulfur is an element that inhibits the formation of graphite and spheroidization by changing this magnesium into nonmetallic inclusions by forming MgS, Mg25, etc. known as. Therefore, by increasing the magnesium content or decreasing the sulfur content in the cast iron, the slope of the curve in FIG. 10 becomes smaller, and the desired graphite nodularity can be obtained even if the bismuth content is slightly higher.
