  • Patent number: 11845125
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an austempered ductile cast iron and a product made from the austempered ductile cast iron manufactured by the method are disclosed. In the method for manufacturing an austempered ductile cast iron, spheroidizing agent and primary inoculant are added to a raw molten metal to create homogeneous spheroidal graphite creation in a deep part of a matrix and the raw molten metal to which the spheroidizing agent and the primary inoculant are added is injected into a mold to which secondary inoculant is locally applied, to micronize spheroidal graphite of a local structure coated with the secondary inoculant into fine graphite that is easy to machine, thereby enhancing workability as compared with a conventional austempered ductile cast iron.

  • Publication number: 20170260610
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an alloy steel for a mold tool and a mold using the same. The steel for the mold tool comprises iron (Fe) as a main component, an amount of about 0.35 to 0.45 wt % of carbon (C), amount of about 0.80 to 1.20 wt % of silicon (Si), amount of about 0.20 to 0.50 wt % of manganese (Mn), amount of about 6.00 to 8.00 wt % of chromium (Cr), amount of about 1.50 to 3.00 wt % of molybdenum (Mo), and amount of about 0.80 to 1.20 wt % of vanadium (V) based on the total weight of the tool steel. Accordingly, the mold tool have improved physical properties at high temperature and extended life span.
