A study on the structure and mechanical properties of vermicular cast iron with pearlitic-ferritic matrix
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2009, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
The results of studies on the use of magnesium alloy in modern cored wire injection method for production of vermicular graphite cast irons were described. The injection of Mg cored wire length is a treatment method which can be used to process iron melted in an electric induction furnace. This paper describes the results of using a high-magnesium ferrosilicon alloy in cored wire (Mg recovery 45% ) for the production of vermicular graphite cast irons at Giesserei Heunisch GmbH Foundry with the pearlite matrix with about 20%ferrite content. The results of calculations and experiments have indicated the length of the cored wire to be injected basing on the initial sulfur content and weight of the treated melt. The paper presents a microstructure matrix and vermicular graphite in standard sample and different walled castings. The results of numerous trials have shown that the magnesium cored wire process can produce high quality vermicular graphite irons under the specific industrial conditions of the above mentioned foundries.
