Strip casting process, a new casting technology which makes thin strip of $0.5{\sim}5\;mm$ thickness directly from molten metal, has been dramatically developed for past 10 years and faced commercialization in the case of STS304 strip. In this study, ductile cast iron strip which is 1.1 mm thick and 100 mm wide is manufactured by the twin roll strip caster. Graphite and matrix structure of the strip can be controlled through heat treatments and the mechanical properties are examined. The microstructure of the as-cast strip consists of cementite and pearlite. Especially the equiaxed crystal zone of pearlite exists in the center region of the thickness due to the characteristics of the strip casting process. Matrix structure can be transformed into fully ferrite or ferrite/pearlite mixed structures by the different graphitization heat treatments. The heat-treated strip with ferrite/pearlite matrix structure showed higher hardness and tensile strength than that with full ferrite matrix structure.

Influence of Si contents on the mechanical properties and microstructure of austempered ductile iron was investigated. Four different Si contents between 2.0 and 2.9% were used. Austenitizing was performed at $890^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs and austempering temperatures were both 340 and $380^{\circ}C$ for 0.5, 1, and 2 hrs. Nodule content was more than $300/mm^2$ and nodularity was more than 90%. Microstructure was revealed using nital and retained austenite was measured by x-ray diffractometer. Tensile test, no-notch Charpy impact test and wear test were performed. Tensile strength was improved as Si content increased and both elongation and impact toughness had peak at 2.6%Si. The specimen austempered at $380^{\circ}C$ showed lower tensile strength than that of $340^{\circ}C$, but showed higher elongation. However, austempering temperature of $380^{\circ}C$ was desirable because that of $340^{\circ}C$ was close to lower bainite transformation. As austempering time increased, tensile strength and elongation were improved and optimum condition was obtained for 2 hrs heat treatment.

In this study, we investigated effect of austempering factors and Mn addition on mechanical properties of ADI with ferrite-bainite matrix by pearlite-bainite transformation treatment. Ductile cast iron specimens containing various of Mn were austenitized at 875$^{\circ}C$ for 350 sec or 925$^{\circ}C$ for 160 sec and then austempered at 300$^{\circ}C$ or 400$^{\circ}C$ for the various periods(5 to 30 min). Manganese increased pearlite volume fraction in as cast ductile cast iron. The obtained results are as follows ; 1) In austenitizing, hardness of sepecimens austenitized at 875$^{\circ}C$ for 350 sec was higher than that of 925$^{\circ}C$ for 160 sec. 2) In effect of austempering temperature, tensile strength and handness of specimens austempered at 300$^{\circ}C$ was higher than that of 400$^{\circ}C$. However, elongation had reverse tendency. 3) Increasing austempering time decreased hardness due to the increment of bainite and retained austenite fractions. However, toughness are increased.

The characteristics of corrosion resistance for the surface of ductile cast iron(GCD40) by plasma nitriding process have been studied in terms of electrochemical polarization behaviors including corrosion potential($E_{corr}$), anodic polarization trends, polarization resistance($R_p$), and also have been studied microstructures, hardness and specific wear of nitrided layer Nitrided layer showed an enhanced hardness values in all the plasma nitriding condition investigated. In the result of wear test, specific wear of nitrided specimens were much decreased than that of non-treated specimens. In the results of XRD, ${\gamma}'phase\;and\;{\varepsilon}$ phase were detected in nitrided surface. And it was found that ${\varepsilon}$ phase was decreased and ${\gamma}'phase$ was increased respectively, as the nitriding time became longer. In the test of corrosion resistance, natural potentials in all the nitrided specimens were towards noble directions than in the case of non-treated specimens. The measurement of electrode potentials revealed that corrosion resistivity of plasma nitrided specimens were higher than in the case of the non-treated specimens.

An experimental evaluation of bending fatigue strength for austempered ductile iron (ADI) spur gears was performed using a Zwick fatigue tester. The gear material was manufactured using vertical continuous casting, resulting in the radius of the graphite grains being smaller. The stress-number of cycles curve (S-N curve) for the bending fatigue strength of the ADI spur gears thus manufactured, without any specific surface treatments, was obtained using post-processing software. It was observed that when the reliability was 50%, the allowable root stress was 610 MPa. was calculated using an analytical method as well as the finite element method, and the difference between the values calculated using the two methods is only 7%. This study provides a reliable basis to rate the reliability design of small gearboxes in automation in the future.

The effects of silicon and molybdenum on the temperature-dependent properties of high silicon and high molybdenum ductile cast iron were investigated. Microstructure was composed of ferrite, cell boundary complex carbide, carbide precipitated in the grain and graphite. The number and size of carbide decreased with the increase of silicon content and increased with the increase of molybdenum content, however, the size of cell boundary carbide increased above 0.81wt%Mo. The room temperature tensile strength increased with the increase of silicon and molybdenum contents. That did not increase with the latter with more than 0.8wt%. Meanwhile the high temperature tensile strength showed the similar trend to that of room temperature one, that of the specimen with 0.55wt%Mo was the highest. The $A_1$ transformation temperature increased with the silicon and molybdenum contents, and showed similar tendency with the variation of strength. It was discussed due to the solubility limit of Molybdenum in ferrite, of which value was assumed to be in the vicinity of 0.81wt%Mo. The weight after oxidation at 1,173K showed the result caused by the difference in solubility of molybdenum in the matrix. That and the thickness change after oxidation did not show any consistent trend with the silicon and molybdenum contents.

다양한 기계가공 결함을 유기한 공칭 외경 100mm의 덕타일 주철관을 대상으로 원거리장 와전류 검사를 수행하였다. 상수도 배수관으로 사용되는 주철관은 제조 단계의 큰 허용 오차 때문에 두께가 일정하지 않고 단면이 비대칭적인 특징을 지니므로, 원거리장 와전류 탐상 신호에는 배관 축방향에 걸친 장범위 잡음이 존재하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 장범위에 걸친 배경잡음을 효과적으로 제거하기 위하여 이동구간 평균법을 응용하였고, 결함의 깊이와 원주방향 정도를 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여 voltage plane 극좌표 (VPPP) 방법을 활용하였다. 이동구간 평균처리로서 신호비를 일차적으로 향상시킨 다음 VPPP 기법을 이용하여 결함신호를 얻은 결과, 결함신호가 VPPP상의 기준점에서 x 축과 이루는 각이 결함 깊이와 직선적인 상관 관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 배관과 동축으로 놓인 탐촉코일을 이용한 원거리장 와전류 검사로서 매설 상수도 배관 내 외부에 존재하는 부식결함을 비파괴 정량평가할 수 있는 기반을 구축하였다.

In this study, fatigue tests were carried out under push-pull loading condition using spheroidal graphite cast iron in order to clarify the internal fatigue fracture mechanism in an extremely low cycle fatigue regime. It is found that a successive observation of internal fatigue damage it is found that the fracture processes go through three stages, that is, the generation, growth and coalescence of microvoids originated from debonding of graphite-matrix interface. It is also found that the crack which is initiated from the void propagates by coalescence of neighboring cracks and the fatigue crack growth rate can be expressed in form of the Manson-Coffin rule type. In this paper, quantitative analyses of fatigue properties for realization of simulation about fatigue life evaluation are also presented.

C/V graphite iron has superior tensile strength, toughness and ductility than grey iron, and better castability than ductile iron. The retained austenite content of C/V graphite iron by austempering treatment affects on the mechanical properties such as ductility, hardness, wear properties and machinability. C/V graphite iron alloyed with Cu and Mo were carried out on the austenitizing at $900^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, and the austempering at $240{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. And then the mechanical and wear properties of austempered C/V graphite iron have been investigated by the retained austenite content. In consequence, the retained austenite content was found to be 18.2% in austempering temperature at $240^{\circ}C$, and was increased 39.2% at $400^{\circ}C$. Tensile strength and hardness of austempered C/V graphite iron were decreased as the retained austenite content increased, but elongation was increased. The rolling wear loss were increased as the retained austenite content increased. The wear surface of as-cast became to be rough. The microstructure of austempered C/V graphite iron was became to be acicular ausferrite in austempering at $240^{\circ}C$, and feathery ausferrite at $400^{\circ}C$.

This study has been carried out to investigate the difference of rolling life and rolling wear characteristics for various high strength ductile iron castings under unlubricative dry rolling condition by Amsler type wear test with 9.09% sliding ratio. The tensile strength of the castings have been obtained 80, 90 and $100kg.f/mm^2$ as cast-state with pearlitic, bainitic and martensitic matrix structures alloyed with Mo, Cu and Ni. It has been found that the amount of rolling wear is decreased when the tensile strength and hardnees of the castings are increased. The amount of rolling wear is increased, when the maximum compressive stress are increased. The maximum weight loss ratio of rolling wear of the castings are same at the 70000 numbers of revolution with out the maximum compressive stress.
