The mechanical properties and fracture toughness of permanent mold cast austempered gray cast iron(AGI) were compared to those of sand cast AGI. The iron was melted to eutectic composition in order to get better castability especially in permanent mold casting. Specimens prepared for tensile, impact and fracture toughness test were austenitized at $900^{\circ}C$ and austempered at $270^{\circ}C$ and $370^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The strength, impact and fracture toughness of permanent mold cast AGI were found to be superior to those of sand cast AGI. The maximum value of 836 MPA in tensile strength, was obtained at the austempering temperature of $270^{\circ}C$. But ductility of AGI was not improved by permanent mold casting.

알루미늄 주철은 내산화성, 내황화성 및 부식성이 우수하다. Ti, Ni 합금에 비해 비전략적 원소인 Fe를 사용하는 비용이 상대적으로 저렴하여 구조재 및 스테인리스강의 대체재로 기대되고 있다. 이는 스테인리스 스틸을 사용하는 경우에 비해 약 30%의 중량 감소 효과를 가져온다. 알루미늄 합금의 경우 최근 몇 년간 주철의 합금원소로 널리 사용되고 있는 원소이다. 실온에서 연성이 부족하고 600℃를 초과하면 강도가 급격히 감소하여 실용화가 지연되었다. 실온 연성이 약한 원인은 수소에 의한 환경 취화로 알려져 있으며, 이러한 특성의 약점을 개선하기 위해 다양한 합금원소의 첨가가 시도되고 있다. 회주철의 경도와 내마모성을 높이기 위해 주로 바나듐, 크롬, 망간 등의 합금원소를 사용하고 있지만, 이러한 원소를 포함하는 완제품의 가격과 합금화의 문제는 많은 한계가 있다.

The effect of austempering treatment on the dynamic properties of a brake drum was investigated to primarily evaluate the potential damping advantage of an AGI (austempered gray iron) drum over a PGI (pearlitic gray iron) drum. This investigation provides valuable information for brake noise reduction since the brake drum is most often the outstanding component that generates the noise of the brake assembly. Test results show that the AGI drum provided slightly larger damping values than the PGI drum for the first few major resonances observed. A finite element model of a drum was also developed to aid in studying its dynamic behavior. A good correlation was obtained between the analytical results and the actual measurement data.

The mechanical properties and fatigue crack growth rate fracture toughness of permanent mould cast austempered gray cast iron(AGI) were compared to those of sand cast AGI. Specimens prepared for tensile, impact and fatigue test were austenitized at $900^{\circ}C$ and austempered at $270^{\circ}C$, $320^{\circ}C$, $370^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The strength, impact and fatigue crack propagation behavior of permanent mold cast AGI were found to be superior to those of sand cast AGI. Maximum values in tensile strength, BHN, Charpy impact energy, were obtained at the austempering temperature of $270^{\circ}C$. Samely, the slowest fatigue crack growth rate was appeared at the austempering temperature of $270^{\circ}C$. But ductility of AGI was not improved by permanent mould casting.

Ductile cast iron has a good ductility and ductility and toughness than those of gray cast iron, because the shape of graphite is spheroidal. It has been reported that the strengthening and toughening of the ductile cast iron was resulted from the good modification of various matrix structures obtained by the heat treatment or addition of alloying elements. This study aims to investigate the effect of various special heat treatment(Cyclic Heat Treatment, Intermediate Heat Treatment, Step Quenching), austempering and alloying element(Ni) on the strength and toughness of ductile cast iron. The results obtained from this study are summarized as follows. 1) With addition of Ni, the amount of pearlite or bainite were increased and the morphologies of pearlite or bainite became finer by special heat treatments. 2) As the Ni added and not added ductile cast iron were treated by austenitizing at $900^{\circ}C$ and $840^{\circ}C$, in the latter the austenite was mostly formed in the vicinity of eutectic cell boundary, but in the former on the whole matrix. 3) In cyclic heat treatment, the volume fraction of pearlite was increased and the shape of pearlite was fined with increase of the number of cycle. 4) The shape of pearlite was mostly bar type in the intermediate heat treatment, but spheroidal type in step quenching. 5) The mechanical properties of ductile cast iron containing 1.5%Ni austempered at $400^{\circ}C$ for 25min. after austenitizing at $900^{\circ}C$ for 15min. were a good value of hardness 105(HRB), impact energy 12.5(kg.m), tensile strength 112($kg/mm^2$) and elongation 6.8(%).
