The effects of microstructural parameters on tensile properties and fatigue limit of ferritic s. g. iron and other s. g. irons with various matrix structures were systematically investigated in this study. The quantitative relationship between fatigue limit and structural factor such as graphite nodule size and matrix structure (i. e., hardness) was clarified, and the prediction equations of fatigue limit of s. g. iron were proposed. The main results obtained were as follows : (1) The prediction equations of the fatigue limit of ferritic s. g. iron were given below :
σw=550.7/
dmax0.19,
σw=457.8/
d0.29, where
dmax and
d were the maximum graphite nodule size and mean graphite nodule size, respectively. (2) The same type of equation as shown below was also used as the prediction equation of other s. g. irons :
σw=
C/
dA, where
C and
A were experimental constants. The slope of the fatigue limit versus
d was increased as matrix hardness for each cast iron with different matrix hardness. (3) The prediction equations of the fatigue limit which was applicable to various s. g. irons with different matrix structures were given as follows : For other irons excepting ADI ;
σw=1.80HV/
dmaxC⋅HV (
r=0.96), where
C was experimental constant, 0.47 × 10
-3. For ADI ;
σw=2.45HV/
dmaxC⋅HV (
r=0.97), where
C was 0.54 × 10
-3.
