Structure and properties of gray iron casted in the electromagnetic field
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2009, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
In the national [1] and foreign [2] literature the methods of improving the homogeneity of the structure of castings using forced convection of the solidifying metal in the casting mould or the crystallizer are presented. This article presents the influence of chosen parameters of the rotating electromagnetic filed that is forcing the movement of melted metal in the mould on the morphology of graphite and the abrasive wear of the grey cast iron. The effect of this examination is the obtained modification of the flake graphite divisions morphology and a alteration of the abrasive wear resistance of the castings manufactured this way.
