In this study, the microstructural and mechanical properties of Vermicular Graphitic Cast Iron (VGCI) material complying with EURO6 standard during engine block production were evaluated using thermal analysis. The production of this engine block was carried out in Erkunt Industry company by pot metallurgy method with a new production approach suitable for mass production. Thermal analysis technique was used as a production control tool during production. Samples taken from the produced block material were examined to analyze the microstructural and mechanical properties. The results of the study showed that the engine block produced conformed to the standards in terms of chemical composition, structure and mechanical properties. It was determined that the microstructure and mechanical properties can be ensured to comply with the targeted standards by using thermal analysis technique. Some foreign (European countries) approvals have been obtained for the produced material.
