The present invention relates to spheroidal graphite cast iron that is free from shrinkage cavities and has a uniform and dense structure. Spheroidal graphite cast iron has excellent mechanical properties such as strength and good wear resistance, so it is suitable as a material for automobile front axle hubs, differential cases, crankshafts, and other high-end mechanical parts. In addition, cast iron has been developed in which the graphite nodularization rate is lowered to about 50% to 75% by reducing the graphite nodularizing agent in conventional spheroidal graphite cast iron or adding titanium. This cast iron is generally called pseudo-spheroidal graphite cast iron, which has improved castability from conventional spheroidal graphite cast iron, and its strength is superior to that of gray cast iron and is similar to that of spheroidal graphite cast iron. The spheroidal graphite cast iron of the present invention means spheroidal graphite cast iron including the above-mentioned pseudospheroidal graphite cast iron. Here, graphite spheroidization rate (%) = 0 x n + 0.3 x n + 0.7 x n + 0.9 x n + 1.0 x n/n + n + n +
n+n However, n to n are the numbers of graphite corresponding to the form symbols in FIG. Spheroidal graphite cast iron in the above sense is generally 2.8%
~4.2% (weight%, same below) carbon, 1.5%
It contains about 4.3% silicon and trace amounts of manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur, but the upper limits for each are generally about 0.8% manganese, 0.2% phosphorus, and 0.05% sulfur. Titanium has the property of inhibiting the spheroidization of graphite and making the degree of spheroidization of graphite uniform in the mold (Figure 2), and is added depending on the desired graphite spheroidization rate, but it is generally ranges from the level of existing as an impurity to about 0.5%. As the graphite spheroidizing agent, a magnesium type, a cerium type (contains cerium in addition to magnesium), and a calcium type (contains calcium in addition to magnesium) are used. By the way, although the conventional spheroidal graphite cast iron has the above-mentioned excellent properties, it has the disadvantage that it has a large amount of shrinkage during casting, which causes shrinkage cavities, which often cause cracks. The present invention has succeeded in obtaining spheroidal graphite cast iron with a uniform structure while minimizing the amount of sinkage. As a result of various experiments, the inventors have suppressed the upper limit of the amount of titanium in spheroidal graphite cast iron to 0.3%, and have proactively reduced the amount of antimony, which was traditionally considered an undesirable element in spheroidal graphite cast iron, in the range of 0.01% to 0.04%. tissue added, and antimony
The structure in which 1.0% to 5.0% of copper is actively added together with 0.01 to 0.04% has a uniform structure with significantly reduced sinkage compared to conventional spheroidal graphite cast iron and pseudospheroidal graphite cast iron. I discovered what I could do. That is, the composition of the spheroidal graphite cast iron of the present invention is carbon
2.8%~4.2%, silicon 1.5~4.3%, manganese 0.8
% or less, phosphorus 0.2% or less, sulfur 0.05% or less, titanium 0.3% or less, magnesium 0.005% to 0.07%, as well as 0.01% to 0.04% antimony, or 0.01%
Contains 1.0% to 5.0% copper along with ~0.04% antimony, with the remainder having a substantially iron composition. Thus, 0.01% to 0.07% magnesium when using a magnesium-based graphite nodularizing agent, and 0.005% to 0.005% when using a cerium-based or calcium-based agent.
0.05% magnesium is the preferred range. Within this range, when magnesium is increased, the spheroidization rate increases, and when it is decreased, the spheroidization rate tends to decrease, resulting in a structure of pseudo-spheroidal graphite cast iron. The graphite spheroidization rate of the spheroidal graphite cast iron of the present invention is 50%
That's all. The details of the present invention will be explained below based on experimental examples. Experimental example (1) An experiment was conducted to confirm the effects of titanium, copper, and antimony on shrinkage cavities in spheroidal graphite cast iron. The results are shown in Figure 1. These are all 3.8% carbon, 2.7% silicon, and manganese.
The basic ingredients are 0.25%, 0.02% phosphorus, and 0.01% sulfur, and a specified amount of magnesium. The casting conditions were as follows: All materials were melted in a high-frequency induction furnace and poured into a shell mold at 1400°C. The amount of shrinkage cavities was determined by the underwater immersion method. Line 1 in the figure is magnesium 0.045% to 0.05%
However, neither copper nor antimony is added. Line 2 is magnesium 0.045% to 0.05%
It contains 3.9% copper. Line 3 contains 0.045% to 0.05% magnesium and 0.02% antimony. Line 4 is magnesium 0.02%~
0.022% contains 2% copper and 0.02% antimony. This result shows that as the amount of titanium increases, the amount of sinkage increases. It can also be seen that the amount of sinkage is significantly reduced by adding copper or antimony, and the effect is particularly excellent when antimony is added, and when antimony and copper are added in combination. Furthermore, when copper and antimony are added in combination, the amount of sinkage tends to decrease regardless of the increase in titanium. (2) The sinkage and tensile strength of spheroidal graphite cast irons of various compositions cast under the same casting conditions as above were measured, and the state of spheroidization of graphite was investigated.
Representative examples are shown in Tables 1 and 2. 1st
The table shows the composition of the samples, and Table 2 shows the test results for each sample. In Table 2, . . . corresponds to morphologies 1 to 3 in FIG. 2, which show graphite particle morphological classifications.
Samples 7 to 9 are spheroidal graphite cast iron of the present invention,
The others are comparative materials. In the table, Sample 1 is a conventional general spheroidal graphite cast iron, and Sample 2 is a spheroidal graphite cast iron with titanium added to it, resulting in the above-mentioned pseudo-spheroidal graphite cast iron, but with an increased sinkage amount. Sample 3 has copper added in addition to titanium, and it is recognized that the reason why the amount of sinkage is large regardless of the addition of copper is because the amount of titanium is as high as 0.5%. Sample 4 has tin added, and although the amount of sinkage is small, minute defects occur within the structure, which is not preferable. Samples 5 and 6 have copper added together with titanium, and have significantly reduced sinkage compared to samples 1 to 3, and also have excellent tensile strength. Samples 7 to 9 are spheroidal graphite cast irons of the present invention.
Sample 7 is made by adding antimony instead of the copper mentioned above, and the sinkage amount is much smaller, 1/4 of that of sample 1.
The following is true. Sample 8 does not contain titanium, but has antimony added, and has a small amount of sinkage, which is comparable to that of sample 7. It is recognized that the high spheroidization rate is due to the fact that it does not contain titanium. Sample 9 contains both copper and antimony as well as titanium, and the reduction in sinkage is comparable to Sample 7 and is extremely good.

[Table] The above is a representative example of the experiment, but combining the results of the experiments conducted by the inventors, the amount of titanium is 0.3
% or less, and if titanium is added in an amount exceeding 0.03%, even if copper and antimony are added, the effect of reducing the amount of shrinkage cavities cannot be sufficiently exhibited. If the amount of antimony added is less than 0.01%, the effect of reducing the amount of shrinkage cavities will be insufficient, while if it exceeds 0.04%, internal defects commonly known as internal whiskers will begin to occur, and the hardness will become too hard, which is not preferable. Adding copper together with antimony helps to reduce the amount of sinkage, suppresses the chilling tendency caused by antimony, and helps to homogenize the structure. However, if the addition of copper is less than 1.0%, the above effects will not be fully exhibited,
On the other hand, if it exceeds 5.0%, internal defects similar to those caused by excess antimony will occur. In the present invention, the content of conventional spheroidal graphite cast iron may be applied to components other than titanium, antimony, and copper, such as carbon, silicon, and manganese. In summary, the present invention has been achieved by adding antimony, which has conventionally been considered undesirable in spheroidal graphite cast iron, and by actively adding copper along with antimony in an appropriate amount, resulting in a uniform structure with a small amount of sinkage and a high tensile strength. The purpose is to provide spheroidal graphite cast iron with excellent mechanical properties.
