Abstract

In this study, two types of die material cast iron was treated for surface hardening by using high power diode laser to improve mechanical properties of die which is using as essential production technology in the parts manufacturing in virtually all the infrastructure industries now. First of all, the heat treatment characteristics of FCD550 material which is spheroidal graphite cast iron, and through the heat treatment of HCI350 material which is flake graphite cast iron, the heat treatment characteristics of the two materials were compared. The hardness of hardened zone increased over 3 times over base material for both specimens, but as for required heat input, HCI350 was higher than FCD550 material depending on the heat conductivity of the materials by the content amount and shape of graphite contained in the material.

본 연구에서는 거의 모든 기반산업에서 필수적인 생산기술로 사용되고 있는 금형의 기계적 성질을 향상시키기 위해 고출력 다이오드 레이저를 이용하여 두 종류의 금형재료용 주철을 표면경화처리하였다. 우선, 구상흑연 주철인 FCD550 소재에 대하여 열처리 특성을 파악한 후, 편상흑연 주철인 HCI350 소재를 열처리하여 두 소재의 표면경화 특성을 비교하였다. 경화부의 경도는 두 시험편 모두 모재에 비해 3배 이상의 경도 상승을 보였지만, 재료에 포함된 흑연의 함유량 및 형상의 차이에 의한 재료의 열전도도에 따라서 FCD550 소재에 비해 HCI350이 열처리하는데 있어서 더 많은 입열이 요구되었다.
