Abstract

In recent years, with the active use of Mn-containing high-tensile strength steels as an automotive body material, it has become increasingly difficult to recycle Mn-containing high tensile strength steel scrap as raw material to produce cast iron, due to the fact that Mn is known as an element promoting the chilling tendency of cast iron melt. Therefore, in this study, the effect of Mn on the fatigue limit of flake graphite cast iron was investigated for the purpose of increasing the strength of cast iron and recycling high tensile strength steel. Flake graphite cast irons with different Mn contents (0.5 mass % and 2.0 mass %, the carbon equivalent corresponding to FC200, FC300 and FC400 of JIS specification (G 5501)) were prepared for plane bending fatigue test.
