Effects of Stress Relief Annealing Time on Mechanical Properties and Operating Costs in Lamellar Graphite Cast Iron Engine Blocks

Öz

The study explores the impact of extended stress-relief heat treatment durations on the mechanical properties and residual stress levels of motor blocks made from EN GJL-250 lamellar graphite gray cast iron. Motor blocks, which are crucial for high standards of mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and fatigue resistance, develop internal stresses during mass production due to non-uniform cooling. Two different stress-relief heat treatment cycles were applied to full-scale motor blocks, evaluating their effects on residual stresses, hardness, tensile strength, dimensional stability, microstructure, and operational costs. The results showed that increasing the annealing time reduced residual stresses by 50%-80% without significant changes in hardness, tensile strength, or microstructure. The cost increase associated with the extended cycle was marginal (0.4% per unit).
