Ductile iron produced by CO2 sand casting method was heat treated by new heat treatment cycle that comprised combination of modified annealing, austenitizing and tempering processes. The new heat treatment process performed was divided into three stages: first stage consists of modified annealing (as-annealed condition); second stage consists of modified annealing and austenitizing processes (as-austenitized condition); and third stage consists of modified annealing, austenitizing and tempering processes (as-tempered condition).

Mechanical tests including tensile (ASTM E8M), impact toughness (ASTM-E23-1990) and Vickers hardness test were performed. The results suggest that heat treatment temperature influences the matrix and volume fraction of each phase of ductile iron. Annealing included in new heat treatment process does influence the hardness of ductile iron. Moreover, microstructure constituents have good correlation with mechanical properties.
