A method for producing a component made of tempered cast iron

The invention relates to a method for producing a component made of tempered cast iron sonderwarmebehandeltem (AGI). According to the invention this purpose is a basic body made of cast iron is provided, which preferably can already be in the form of an engine block. The base body is first subjected to a mechanical pre-processing (H3a), under which, for example, any holes can be introduced. Subsequently, the so already machined body is annealed by this so the special heat treatment is subjected to a suitable heat treatment (H2). A post-processing, ie the creation of the gage can join.
