Abstract

The microstructure and mechanical properties of nodular cast iron produced by the melted metal die forging process (MMDF for short) were experimentally researched. The main obtained results are: the nodular cast iron produced by this process can be machined as easy as traditional one only if holding at the remained temperature for 4 h; its strength and plasticity are obviously higher than those of traditional ones; the graphite size arrived at grade 8, and the graphite spheroidizing arrived at grade 1 or 2, but a streamline molded distribution of the graphite slightly appeared. Both of the strength and plasticity increased with the pressure when the pressure holding time was larger than its critical value. A new way to produce high properties nodular cast iron was provided.
