FIG. 2 is a graph showing a test result of high-temperature oxidation resistance for specimens according to an example and a comparative example of the present invention. - Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the drawings attached hereinafter, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below so as to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.
- A high-silicon ferritic CG cast iron material according to the present invention is excellent in oxidation-resistance under high temperature conditions as well as in high-temperature mechanical and physical properties, and thus can be used particularly for a turbine housing of a turbo charger.
- The high-silicon ferritic CG cast iron according to the present invention exhibits a ferrite substrate structure in a compacted graphite, and includes Si, Mo, V, Ni and Cr added thereto to improve a high-temperature physical property.

- The reason for limiting components and composition ratio of thereof the CG cast iron according to the present invention will be described hereinafter.

- The amount of carbon (C) is limited to 3.00˜3.60% by weight in consideration of degradation of fluidity and crystallization of primary graphite.
- (2) Silicon (Si): 4.00 to 4.80% by Weight
- Silicon (Si) is an element that contributes to crystallization of graphite. The amount of silicon (Si) is limited to 4.00 to 4.80% by weight in consideration of a ferrite process of the substrate, improvement of oxidation resistance, transformation increase effect of austenite in the ferrite, the flow of the melt during the casting process and machinability.
- The reason for the above limitation of silicon (Si) is that the high-temperature oxidation resistance is decreased in the range of the amount of 4.00% by weight or less and the development material is weakened to induce brittleness in the range of the amount of 4.80% by weight or more.
- More specifically, it is preferably to produce a great amount of Fe2SiO4 of on an interface between an oxide film and a substrate so as to increase oxidation resistance, and hence silicon is contained in an amount of 4.00% by weight or more, based on the total weight of the CG cast iron material. Generally, silicon (Si) is an element that increases of oxidation resistance as mentioned above and rises the transformation temperature of austenite in the ferrite. However, if the amount of silicon (Si) exceeds 4.80% by weight, the hardness of the ferrite is increased to reduce ductility. For this reason, the CG cast iron material of the present invention limits the content of silicon (Si) for the purpose of increase of oxidation resistance and prevention of reduction in ductility.
- (3) Manganese (Mn): 0.10 to 0.30% by Weight

- Molybdenum is an element that is combined with carbon to bring about formation of precipitated carbide and reduces an average thermal expansion coefficient to decrease generation of heat stress in a high temperature region to thereby improve high-temperature strength. When molybdenum is contained in a large amount, the amount of intercellular carbide is increased to degrade machinability and room temperature elongation. Thus, it is preferably to limit the amount of molybdenum (Mo) to 0.30 to 1.20% by weight.
- Molybdenum (Mo) can increase the high-temperature strength due to solid solution strengthening effect in the ferrite.
- (7) Chromium (Cr): 0.01 to 0.10% by Weight

- (8) Nickel (Ni): 0.30 to 1.20% by Weight
- Nickel (Ni) was added to the CG cast iron to improve room temperature elongation.

- The high-silicon ferritic CG cast iron has a structure in which vanadium-based carbide (VC) is formed in the substrate by addition of vanadium (V). Such a structure can improve high-temperature strength.
- (10) Titanium (Ti): 0.2% by Weight or Less

- (11) Magnesium (Mg): 0.050% by Weight or Less
- Magnesium (Mg) is an element that is added for the purpose of nucleation and growth promotion of the CGI graphite. Thus, it is preferably to limit the amount of magnesium (Mg) to 0.050% by weight or less in view of nodularization and shrinkage defect of graphite.

- The high-temperature tensile strength was tested using typical equipment at a material surface temperature of 800° C. as a strict endurance mode. As a test result of the high-temperature tensile strength, it could be seen from a graph of
FIG. 1 that the example exhibits a relatively high high-temperature tensile strength as compared to the comparative example. - It could be seen that the high-temperature strength can be enhanced by a solid solution strengthening effect owing to addition of molybdenum (Mo), as well as by a precipitation strengthening effect by VC owing to addition of vanadium (V). Also, it could be seen that the high-temperature strength can be further enhanced by combined addition of these elements.
- Test of the high-temperature oxidation resistance was performed such that the specimens according to the example and the comparative example were fabricated into a square shape having a width of 20 mm, a length of 20 mm and a height of 2 mm, were maintained in a heated holding furnace of 700° C. for 300 hours, and then were taken out of the heated holding furnace so as to be cooled in the air. Thereafter, the cooled specimens were subjected to a short blast to remove an oxide scale and then an reduction amount (g/mm2), i.e., a change of mass per unit area after the oxidation resistance test, was obtained and evaluated. The evaluation result of the reduction amount is shown in a graph of
FIG. 2 . - As a test result of the high-temperature oxidation resistance, it could be seen from the graph of
FIG. 2 that the example exhibits a relatively low reduction amount as compared to the comparative example. The reason for this is that it was desirable to produce a great amount of Fe2SiO4 on an interface between the oxide film and the substrate. - As described above, the high-silicon ferritic CG cast iron according to of the present invention has an advantageous effect in that it is remarkably excellent in physical properties such as high temperature strength, high-temperature oxidation resistance, etc., as compared to an existing heat resistant nodular cast iron. In addition, the present invention has an economic effect of being capable of manufacturing a turbine housing which is inexpensive and practical, along with such improvement of the physical properties. Further, the alloy material of the present invention can enhance the high-temperature strength and the high-temperature heat resistance when being applied to the turbine housing of the turbo charger to thereby replace an existing nickel cast iron material.
- The invention has been described in detain with reference to preferred embodiments thereof. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
