The constant search for engines with higher energy efficiency requires the development of new materials or manufacturing innovations on the routes of existing materials. In the present work, heat treatment routs were investigated to minimize wear originated at the contact between metallic bodies into components subjected to high contact pressures in lubricated regime. Microstructural modification from heat treatments yielded relatively hard martensitic matrix with a fine dispersion of spherical graphite nodules, which act as solid lubricants. The study was based on two cast iron (gray and white) undergoing treatments of soaking (austenitizing) followed by quenching in oil and tempering at different times. Dilatometry tests were performed on both materials to study the kinetics of secondary graphitization under different heat treatment conditions. Mechanical properties were evaluated from Vickers hardness of the thermally treated samples. Samples of gray cast iron and white modified by heat treatments were tested in sliding wear test, in order to assess the influence of changes in the surface friction coefficient.
