High–speed tensile tests were conducted on high–Si ductile cast iron, conventional ferrite–pearlite ductile cast iron, and fully pearlitic ductile cast iron at a stroke speed ranging between 8.5 × 10−3–2.7 × 102 mm/s (strain rate of 2.1 × 10−4–1.8 × 101 s−1) and temperature ranging between −180°C–22°C. Then, σ B notch and σ B,RT smooth were compared in terms of the strain rate–temperature parameter R = T ln (A/ ) to evaluate the combined influence of the strain rate and temperature T. It was found that the notch strength σ B notch can be expressed as a unique master curve in terms of R parameter for each material. Then, a notch–strengthening threshold criterion R ≧ Rth was proposed to describe the lowest service temperature and highest strain rate that can be applied to the structural components. Under the condition R ≧ Rth, σ B notch is always larger than σ B,RT smooth , and therefore, notched components can be used safely. In other words, if R ≧ Rth, σ B,RT smooth can be used to evaluate the notched components in machine design to prevent instantaneous fractures.}, pages = {75--88}, title = {Conditions for notch strength to be higher than static tensile strength in high–strength ductile cast iron}, volume = {206}, year = {2018}, yomi = {ノダ, ナオアキ and サノ, ヨシカズ} }
