Abstract

See full text

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for improving fatigue strength that is capable of improving the fatigue strength of cast iron, specifically spherical graphite cast iron, to the same level as that of carbon steel subjected 10 carburizing and quenching. To this end, this method contains a step for performing first, second and third shot peenings using shot of a prescribed diameter for each on spherical graphite cast iron on which a quenching and tempering heat treatment or austempering heat treatment has been performed and tensile strength made to be 1200 MPa or more, the spherical graphite cast iron containing the following elements in the following mass percentages: C=2.0-4.0%, Si=1.5-4.5%, Mn=2.0% or less, P=O.08% or less, 8=0.03% or less, Mg=0.02-0.1%, and Cu=1.8-4.0%.
