Effect of nitrogen on matrix structure of 3 different varieties of gray cast iron,i.e., sub-eutectic Fe-C-Si,near-eutectic Fe-C-Si and Fe-C-Si-Mn,has been investigated. The eutectie colony structure of gray cast iron may be refined,the pearlite content increased and the micro-hardness of pearlite and ferrite raised with an addition of nitrogen.The influ- ence of nitrogen on the transformation temperature of the equilibrium and non-equilibrium phases,as well as,the solution of nitrogen in ferrite and cementite seem to be the major rea- sons to strengthening the matrix structure of gray cast iron.
