It has been said for a long time that high class cast iron was most suitable for the liner materials of high speed internal combustion engines. But recently it seems that the demand for cast iron with higher strength and hardness has increased gradually in response to the elevated character of those engines and from the view-point of wear resistance and their lives. And the main trend of today is to make this component part of cast iron of perfect pearlite structure or sorbitic pearlite structure with fine graphite distribution. The authors picked up three typical liner materials, that is, plain high class cast iron, Cu-Cr cast iron and Ni-Cr cast iron, and compared their physical and chemical properties from the various view-points as follows. Ⅰ Mass effect test (Sand Casting) Ⅱ Actual goods test (Centrifugal Casting) (a) Distribution of hardness.······as cast. (b) Tensile strength and hardness.······as cast, heat treated. (c) Repeated bending fatigue test.······as cast, heat treated. (d) Charpy impact test.······as cast, heat treated. (e) Oxidation at high temperature.······as cast. (f) Drying rotatory wear test.······as cast, heat treated. (g) Corrosion test.······as cast, heat treated. In the 1st report we cover the accomplishments of tests from Ⅰ to Ⅱ∼(d). The second reports the results of Ⅱ∼(e) ∼(f) and ∼g.
