This Document specifies the methods for evaluating the microstructure of spheroidal graphite cast iron by visual method and evaluating the nodularity of spheroidal graphite cast ion by computer image analysis software. This Document is suitable for evaluating the metallographic structure of spheroidal graphite cast iron in casting, normalizing and annealing states. 2 Normative References The provisions in following documents become the provisions of this Document through reference in this Document. For the dated documents, only the versions with the dates indicated are applicable to this Document; for the undated documents, only the latest version (including all the amendments) is applicable to this Document. GB/T 5611 Foundry Terminology GB/T 13298 Inspection Methods of Microstructure for Metals 3 Terms and Definitions For the purposes of this Document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 5611 and the following apply. 3.1 Maximum Feret diameter The maximum straight-line distance lm between any two points on the outline of the outer edge of the graphite particle. NOTE: The maximum Feret diameter (lm) is used to represent the graphite particle size, see Figure 1. 4 Calculation of Nodularity 4.1 The nodularity is equal to the area of spheroidal graphite particles (particle roundness ρ ≥ 0.60) divided by the total area of all graphite particles, see Formula (2). Where: Pnod – nodularity, in %; AVI + AV - the area of graphite particles with a particle roundness ρ≥0.6, or the area of the VI- shape and V-shape graphite particles shown in Appendix C, in mm2; Aall - the total area of graphite particles (graphite particles smaller than the critical size and those cut by the boundary of the field of view are not considered), in mm2; 4.2 See Appendix D for typical graphite particle roundness. 5 Metallographic Specimen Preparation 5.1 The metallographic specimen shall be taken from the test block or casting which is cast at the same time as the casting and conducted heat treatment in the same furnace (such as during heat treatment). 5.2 When sampling on castings, the sampling site shall avoid the casting surface and areas affected by cooling. 5.3 The preparation of metallographic specimens shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 13298. During the process of intercepting and preparing metallographic specimens, structure changes, graphite spalling and graphite tailing shall be prevented. The surface of the specimens shall be smooth and without obvious scratches. 6 Inspection Rules 6.1 Select the field of view randomly; the diameter of the field of view or the equivalent diameter is 1.20mm. When magnified by 100 times, the graphite particles with the maximum Feret diameter lm less than 1.0mm are not counted. If a large number of graphite particles are smaller than 1.0mm or larger than 12.0mm, the magnification can be appropriately enlarged or reduced to make the size of graphite particles in the field of view as close as possible to the corresponding rating chart in this Document. The graphite particle count in the field of view is generally no less than 50 pieces/mm2. 6.2 When inspecting the nodularity, graphite particle size rating and graphite particle count, at least 5 fields of view shall be selected; and the total number of inspected graphite particles shall be no less than 500. 6.3 When there are adjacent graphite particles in the inspection field of view that are too close and the computer-generated images are mixed together, artificial separation measures shall be taken for the graphite particles. 6.4 When inspecting the steadite and carbide content, first observe the entire inspected surface; and take the field of view with the most steadite or carbide content as the inspected field of view. 6.5 When inspecting the content of pearlite, ferrite, steadite and carbide, the area occupied by graphite particles is not considered. 6.6 When the evaluation results of the image analysis method and the visual method are different and there is a dispute over the evaluation results, the evaluation results of the visual method shall prevail. 7 Inspection Item 7.1 Nodularity level 7.1.1 The nodularity level is divided into six levels, see Table 1. 7.1.2 Check the nodularity level of graphite in the polished state; and the magnification is 100 times or adjust the magnification so that the graphite particle size is similar to the rating chart in Appendix E. 7.1.3 Randomly select the field of view; and compare and evaluate the nodularity level according to Figure E.1. 7.1.4 When using the image analysis system for evaluation, calculate the nodularity according to Formulas (1) and (2) in the polished state. The test result is the average value of the measurement results of all fields of view, rounded-off to an integer. ......
