Abstract

A spheroidal graphite cast iron containing some carbide stabilizing elements to have the maximum strain rate sensitivity factor of more than 0.3 and having very refined grain matrix structure, so that having an improved toughness at room temperature and having a matrix which is composed of fine austenite and fine ferrite grains and superplastic properties at the temperature between the eutectoid transformation temperature range and 50.degree. C higher than that temperature range; and the method of heat treatment to obtain the said spheroidal graphite cast iron.
