The present study examined the effects of heat treatment and the addition of Cu-Ni alloy on the corrosion resistance of the matrix of spheroidal graphite cast iron in aqueous environments. Test materials of white cast iron and carbon steel were used for comparison with spheroidal graphite cast iron. The alloy spheroidal graphite cast iron that added Cu and Ni was prepared. The spheroidal graphite cast iron was subjected to three kinds of heat treatment to adjust the matrix: annealing, oil quenching, and austemper heat treatment. In electrochemical tests, measurements of corrosion electrode potential and cathode and anode polarization were used. The following was clarified from the relationship between the electrode potential and current density of each of the materials in each of the solution. The alloy spheroidal graphite cast iron had a high corrosion electrode potential owing to the addition of Cu-Ni, and tended to have a low corrosion current density. This demonstrates that in any of the materials having a matrix adjusted by heat treatment, the addition of Cu-Ni increased the corrosion resistance. The corrosion current density was highest in a sulfuric acid environment.

The spheroidal graphite cast iron is widely used as a structural material in an industrial field. Possibility to be able to use by improving magnetic characteristic of spheroidal graphite as magnetic circuit material of product related to electromagnetism besides structure material. In this study, the influence that the amount of graphite precipitation , the matrix organization, and the structure gave to a magnetic characteristic was investigated in the spheroidal graphite cast iron that makes matrix ferrite by compounding C element and the Si element and heat-treatment. The graphite was completely precipitated at the heat-treatment temperature of 1173K or more, the organizatiom became a ferrite, and permeability rose. Moreover, Rough making by heat-treatment the size about the particle size of the ferrite and the appearance of the Fe-Si phase have raised permeability.

It is well known that austempered spheroidal graphite cast iron shows good tensile and elongation. And, retained austenite include in the austempered spheroidal graphite cast iron structure was known to effect for the mechanical properties when TRIP was occurred. On the other hand, fineness and homogeneity of the structure are considered to influence as a factor to improve mechanical property. In this study, the mechanical properties of spherical graphite cast iron was evaluated that it treatmented fineness prior-structure and austenitized at (α + γ) range followed by isothermal treatment at bainitic transformation temperature range. Compared the heat treatment of this study and typical austempering treatment, the mechanical properties with good balance of strength and ductility were obtained in the heat treatment of this study. But, retained austenite that it determined by x-ray diffraction was slightly changed before and after the tensile test. Therfore, it was considered that not TRIP but complex phase effect on mechanical properties.

Color etching is a widely used technique for visualizing different phases in metallic materials. Its advantage to the traditional etching techniques is that it gives additional information within one phase, namely, the color shade of a given phase can change in a certain range. This paper demonstrates that, due to the physics of the color etching, the shade of a phase also depends on the crystallographic orientation of the investigated grain. As a test material, spheroidal graphite cast iron was used, and individual grain orientation was identified by automated electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD). Results showed that there is a strong correlation between grain orientation and the shades obtained by color etching.
