Stream inoculation may be performed simultaneously when the molten metal is injected into the mold, and here, an injection may be a sulfur oxygen injection, and the content may be approximately 0.05 ⁇ 0.2% of the mass of the crude liquid molten metal. The molten metal injected into the mold may be cooled to obtain a nodular cast iron rotor.
- the rotor semi-product obtained in the casting process may be first cleaned to remove sand and an oxide layer attached to a surface thereof, and machined to have an intended shape.
- Isothermal hardening may be performed on the machined rotor semi-product.
- the isothermal hardening may be performed to austenitize the matrix structure.

- a rotor of a vane pump may include a plurality of radially formed slots and having a disk shape, being formed of a material including approximately 20% to 70% of pig iron, approximately 0.2% to 0.5% of copper (Cu), and approximately 0.1% to 0.4% of iron
- Scraps refer to fragments, for example, produced during mechanical working, and steel waste refers to steel discarded after being used.
- the rotor of a vane pump may be formed of the nodular graphite cast iron to have sufficient strength and abrasion resistance, and as scraps and steel wastes may be used, manufacturing costs may be reduced.
- the weight ratio of the steel wastes may be equal to or smaller than that of the scraps, and more specifically, a weight ratio between the scraps and the steel wastes may be approximately 1:1 to 5:1 by weight ratio.
- Embodiments disclosed herein provide a method for manufacturing a rotor of a vane pump that may include mixing raw materials including approximately 20% to 70% of pig iron, approximately 0.2% to 0.5% of copper (Cu), and approximately 0.1% to 0.4% of iron (Fe), and scraps and steel wastes for the remainder and smelting the crude liquid molten metal; applying a nodularizer and an inoculant to the smelted crude liquid molten metal; a casting operation of injecting the molten metal into a mold to obtain a rotor semi-product; machining the rotor semi-product to have a predetermined shape; and isothermal-hardening the machined rotor semi-product.
- the crude liquid molten metal may be taken out at a temperature ranging from approximately 1500° C. to 1550° C.
- a silicon-iron-magnesium alloy (FeSiMg6RE1), a rare earth element, may be applied as the nodularizer in an amount of approximately 1.0% to 1.2% of a mass of the crude liquid molten metal.
- the isothermal-hardening may include heating the rotor semi-product to reach a temperature ranging from approximately 890° C. to 950° C. and maintaining the heated rotor semi-product for approximately 60 minutes to 90 minutes; applying the rotor semi-product to a liquid having a temperature ranging from approximately 280° C. to 340° C. and maintaining the rotor semi-product in the liquid for approximately one to three hours; and cooling the rotor semi-product to reach approximately room temperature in the atmosphere.
- the liquid may be a nitrate solution obtained by mixing KNO 3 and NaNO 3 in a ratio of approximately 1:1.
- the method may further include grinding the hardening-completed rotor semi-product to have a final shape.
- nodular graphite cast iron including precipitated spheroidal graphite and having an austenite structure may be used.
- the austenite structure has high impact resistance and abrasion resistance, and due to work hardening, surface hardness may be further enhanced during a production process.
- abrasion resistance may be further enhanced.
- scraps or steel wastes may be used, without using a rare earth element or a high-priced material, manufacturing costs may be considerably reduced.
- any reference in this specification to “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” “example embodiment,” etc. means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the invention.
- the appearances of such phrases in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.
