Schemetical representation of the heat treatment routes to produce surface nitrided dual phase ductile cast iron (blue line)Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to improve the surface hardness by applying gas nitriding treatment to dual-phase ductile cast iron and to produce ductile cast irons with a good strengthductility combination. Thus, it has been tried to develop a ductile cast iron with high wear resistance, strength, and ductility.Theory and Methods: Ductile cast iron specimens with a dual-phase microstructure consisting of ferrite + martensite were produced by oil quenching at 70 °C after intercritical austenitizing at 800 ⁰C in the ferrite + austenite zone. Instead of the tempering process, nitriding treatment was applied to the dual-phase ductile cast iron specimens at 560 °C for 540 minutes. Optical microscope and XRD analysis were performed for microstructural characterization of nitrided dual-phase ductile cast iron specimens. The wear properties were tested with a tribometer. Results:In ductile cast iron, microstructures consist of a hard nitride layer (10 µm white layer) on the surface and a ferrite + tempered martensite (43% martensite volume fraction) structure in the center can be produced by oil quenching from intercritical austenitizing and nitriding treatment. Surface hardness of 510 HV in nitrided dual-phase ductile cast iron, 193 HV in dualphase ductile cast iron, and 353 HV in austempered KGDD were obtained. The lowest weight loss and coefficient of friction were obtained in nitrided dual-phase ductile cast iron. The highest weight loss and friction coefficient values with wear were obtained in dual-phase ductile cast iron. Conclusion:It can be concluded that the wear resistance of nitrided dual-phase ductile cast iron is 2 times higher than that of dual-phase ductile cast iron and austempered ductile cast iron.
