The invention relates to the field of metallurgy, in particular to a method for cold-resistant high-strength cast iron during the production of castings in the conditions of mass production.

Known for high strength cast iron [1] brand VC (GOST 7293-85), which has a higher impact strength compared to cast iron higher grades. Recommended chemical composition of cast iron for castings with wall thickness up to 100 mm includes, wt.%:

Carbon 3,0-3,8,
Silicon 1,2-2,9,
Manganese 0,2-0,6,

Iron and impurities, and the rest.

As impurities in the iron contains, wt%: phosphorus 0.05, sulfur 0.02, chromium, up to 0.1. Spheroidizing of graphite is carried out usually by treating the liquid iron magnesium-containing additives or complex modifiers. As heat treatment - Territoire annealing at 680-800°C.

The disadvantage of this iron is low impact strength.

Also known ductile iron [2], whose production is standard modification in 2 stages. Annealing is not applied.

The disadvantage of this iron is a sharp drop in shock at what Scotti at low temperatures (from -40°C and below) more than 2 times.

Closest to the proposed iron and method for obtaining a cast iron [3]. The chemical composition specified in table 1. The technology of obtaining of cast iron is that the melt is treated in 50-kg buckets by adding the modifier ligatures (of 0.8% Ni-Mg) and the adsorption-active additives (CA+CE) with a secondary modification of 0.6-0.8% ferrosilicon FS; also performed heat treatment - annealing regime: heating to 760°C, holding for 6 hours, cooled from the oven.

The disadvantage of this iron are low toughness values at low temperatures (table 2). The disadvantage of this method is the long time heat treatment, which increases the time of making castings which in turn is unacceptable in terms of mass production.

The technical objective of this invention is to improve the impact strength cold-resistant cast iron at subzero temperatures while reducing the time of production of castings in the conditions of mass production.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the inoculation is carried out in a mold by filing a modifier mixtures containing spheroidizing additive in the form of ferrosilicomanganese and standard additive in the form of boric acid, the quantity, ensure the receipt of finished castings 0,03-0,06% residual magnesium and 0005-0,007% boron, further samatiga castings in a mold for 60 minutes

Changes in the chemical composition of pig iron introduced to a stable maximum ferritization patterns of iron castings and provide the necessary properties of the cast iron after heat treatment.

With decreasing carbon content increases the amount of perlite, remaining after annealing. In this case, probably also the presence of structural free cementite and graphite are not spherical in shape. Therefore, it is necessary to have a high carbon content (3,6-3,9%), to provide better casting properties and at the same time not reduce the mechanical properties.

From the point of view of plasticity, the best is the silicon content in the pig iron in the range of 2.4-2.7 percent. In order to avoid negative influence on the impact strength and to reduce the threshold jednoralski its content should not exceed 2.8 percent.

Manganese has an effect opposite to the effect of silicon, reducing the amount of ferrite and increasing the amount of perlite, therefore, with the aim of reducing the threshold jednoralski, its content should not exceed 0.3%.

The increase in the content of phosphorus to 0.25-0.3% causes a decrease in the plastic properties, the tensile strength decreases as the hardness increases. To obtain a high toughness, the upper limit of the content is of phosphorus should be limited to 0.05%.

The content of magnesium is recommended within 0,03-0,06%. If the residual magnesium content less than 0.03%, the results of the modification unstable. The increase in magnesium content than 0.06% impractical because it does not improve the properties of cast iron.

Additionally, the composition of iron introduced boron in amounts of from 0.005 to 0.007%. Together with the complex modifier, boron has an effect on the crystallization of high-strength cast iron, leading to a significant grinding grains and the stability of the austenite to the collapse of supercooling. Also boron has a high reactivity with respect to oxygen and nitrogen. Higher boron content (>0,01%) leads to orbitastarmedia effect, and reduction in plastic characteristics and the low boron content (<0.002 per cent) does not have alloy no effect (table 2).

Cast iron is smelted in a crucible furnaces, providing effective melting of the charge and overheating of the melt before it is released to the temperature 1500-1550°C. Then, the molten metal transfer ladle is served in the channel mixer, where the mixing of metal and averaging its chemical composition and temperature. Further, the metal temperature 1450-1490°C is poured into the pouring ladle, which is pouring liquid metal.

As the charge materials used in the comfort of steel scrap, the return of own production (gates, profit) ductile iron, ferrosilicon, graphite crushed.

To obtain in the finished castings 0,03-0,06% residual magnesium, the estimated amount of the modifier is 0.8-1.2% of the metal mold. To obtain in the finished castings 0,005-0,007% boron estimated amount of boric acid is 0.06-0.08% of the metal mold. Cast-in form is poured at a temperature of 1380-1420°C.

The knockout castings from moulds were made after 60 minutes Mechanical properties of cast iron was determined on samples cut directly from castings. The shape and size of samples for mechanical tests meet the requirements of relevant standards. Cast iron structure is determined on the samples subjected to mechanical testing, the side opposite to the plane of the gap.

The chemical composition is known and offer cast iron are given in table 1, and the mechanical properties in table 2.

It is seen that the proposed combination of the chemical composition of pig iron, method thereof and method of heat treatment provides compared to the prototype significantly higher toughness values, including at subzero temperatures. When the content of boron for the proposed limits (var, 4) properties of cast iron are significantly worse. is tkanina in the input method modifiers from claim 2 of the invention leads to reduced absorption of boron, which in turn leads to the reduction of mechanical properties (var, 6). The deviation of the method of thermal processing from claim 3 of the invention (i.e. reducing the time of samatiga) also leads to the reduction of mechanical properties of cast iron (var), however, the increase in the time samatiga not led to significant improvements (var)that is not appropriate.

As follows from table 2, the claimed invention allows to increase compared with the known iron impact strength: 4-6% at +20°C, 6-10% at -20°C, 6-14% at -40°C, at 20-26% at -60°C.
