Macrostructure and pollution The appearance of the fracture of castings on OST 1 90077-72 should be dense, fine-grained, light-gray, with no signs of chill. Surface of castings shall be cleaned of sand and metal penetration. Sprues, heaving, bays, growths and veining must be cut or polished by abrasive material in the tolerances on the drawing. Nikitina, crack and end-to-end sinks are not allowed.
Microstructure According to OST 1 90077-72 microstructure of castings shall consist of spherical graphite of various sizes. Allowed the presence of lamellar graphite in a small quantity, providing the required mechanical properties. The bulk of the cast iron of the ferritic class should be composed of ferrite. Presence of perlite in the field of thin-section to 30%.
Features of heat treatment According to OST 1 90077-72 heat treatment of castings of high-strength cast iron with spherical graphite is made depending on the specific purpose of casting. Casting antifriction purposes, as a rule, the heat treatment is not exposed, and to reduce the hardness of the castings are subjected to heat treatment regime: aging at a temperature of 650°C for 3.0 and 5.0 hours with subsequent cooling in air. Casting for structural purpose are heat-treated to improve mechanical properties (mainly ductility) in the following regime: the iron brand МН40-10 with a ferritic structure, the casting is subjected to annealing (heating to 600-960°C, exposure 3,0-10,0 hours, cooling with the oven up to 700-750°C, exposure at this temperature 3,0-10,0 hours, further cooling of the casting from the furnace to 600°C and unloading of castings into the air). If the results of testing of mechanical properties does not satisfy the requirements of the standard, it is allowed to re-heat treatment.
