Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Complex economic alloying and modification, and optimization of the chemical composition and structure of gray cast iron is an effective means of improving the mechanical properties and wear resistance of cylinder bushings fabricated from this metal.

  2. 2.

    With the optimal total content of carbon, silicon, and alloying elements (Cr, Ni, Mo, V, Cu) and parameters of the macro- and microstructure of the metallic base and graphite (P, Pt, Pdl, 0–1.4, Gl, Graz45-Graz90, G4–G6), the modified cast SChKhNMD has sufficiently high strength properties (σb = 750–950 N/mm2, σ−1 = 140–150 N/mm2, and wear resistance (I=65–75 mg/100 h, PS=17.5–20.5 N/mm2).
