| Abstract Scope |
In some grey cast iron components, which are cast in sand moulds, the metal sometimes penetrates into the mould producing defects and causes difficulties when cleaning the components. To improve knowledge of the metal penetration mechanism a series of test casting was performed in production scale where the influence of different inoculants and different amounts was studied.
Investigation of the various inoculants show that the inoculation of grey cast iron will influence the metal expansion penetration in areas with late solidification times.
The amount of inoculant added shows a clear effect on the degree of metal penetration.
The whole casting process was simulated with the software MagmaSoft® in order to investigate the solidification characteristics as well as the porosity in the casting component. |
