METODA PRZETWARZANIA ŻELIWA W STANIE PÓŁSTAŁYM

Abstract

A device for the fabrication of ingots from cast iron of globular non-dendritic structure of the primary phase was designed and made, using the principle of overflow on the Slope Cooling Plate, known as the SCP method. Trials were made on hypoeutectic grey cast iron and high-chromium cast iron. Even during the first trials the intended effect has been achieved, which means that a fragmentation and globularization of the primary austenite was obtained. A simultaneous effect of the applied SCP technique on the shape of graphite in grey cast iron was observed.
