Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19637464C1] The invention concerns a wear-resistant camshaft and a method of producing the same. Objects to which the invention is advantageously applicable include all cast-iron parts which are subject to wear as a result of lubricated friction. The wear-resistant camshaft consists of cast-iron and comprises a surface layer consisting of a ledeburitic recast layer with a high cementite portion and, lying therebelow, a martensitic hardening zone. According to the invention, the recast layer consists of finely dispersed ledeburitic cementite with thicknesses of </= 0.1 mu m and a metallic matrix comprising a phase mixture of martensite and/or bainite, residual austenite and less than 20 % finely laminated perlite with a distance of </= 0.1 mu m between the laminations. The hardening layer is formed from a phase mixture of martensite and/or bainite, partially dissolved perlite and residual austenite. This wear-resistant camshaft according to the invention is produced by means of a high-energy surface recasting method.
