65-45-12 Ductile iron casting to replace forged 1045 part.
(OP)
The part strength is not what I am worried about it is the heat treatment. The part has a ACME thread that currently is nitrocarburized to 60Rc. What I need help with is a HT process to achieve similar surface hardness in the cast part.
Thanks in advance

You need to have a long talk with your lawyer before replacing a forging with a casting.
