19 ABSTRACT A method of producing a chilled iron camshaft from a chromium containing cast iron is described. The cast iron material contains between 0.5 wt% to 1.2 wt% of chromium, the camshaft having a white iron structure adjacent chill inserts in a casting mould and a grey iron structure in substantially all other regions remote from the chills, the method comprising the steps of assembling a sand casting mould having a camshaft shaped cavity and also having chill inserts adjacent the cavity regions where white iron is desired, preparing a molten metal charge of cast iron having a carbon equivalent lying in the range from 3.5 up to 4.0 wt% and adding sufficient nucleant prior to pouring to fill the mould cavity, to ensure that under cooling of residual liquid remaining after solidification of the white iron structure adjacent the chills remains above the iron-cementite eutectic temperature prior to solidification into grey iron.
