Mechanical Property Stability of Cu-Mo-Ni Alloyed Austempered Ductile Iron
摘要
The aim of present work is to investigate the influencing factors on mechanical property stability of Cu-Mo-Ni alloyed austempered ductile iron (ADI). The results show that after austenitized at 900 ℃ for 2 h followed by austempered at 370 ℃ for another 2 h, the mechanical property of the alloyed ADI can reach the Germanite GGG-100 standard, i.e.σb≮1 000 MPa, δ≮5%, at 95% confidence level. And the satisfactory mechanical properties were obtained when the alloyed ADI was austenitized at 850 ℃ to 1 000 ℃ for 1-4 h, and austempered at 355 ℃ to 400 ℃ for another 1 h to 4 h. The microstructures, including nodule number, white bright zone content (martensite-containing interdendritic segregation zone) and retained austenite content, can significantly influence the mechanical properties of the ADI. In order to obtain the good combinations of strength and ductility, the volume fraction of white bright zone should be less than 5%, and the retained austenite contents maintain between 30 % and 40 %. The application of inoculation techniques to increase graphite nodule number can effectively reduce the white bright zone content in the structure.
