Foundry: Introduction to the Application Fields of Vermicular Graphite Cast Iron

Foundry


Foundry: Since compacted graphite iron combines the properties of ductile iron and gray iron, it has unique applications. It has achieved good results in applications such as steel ingot molds, automobile engines, exhaust pipes, glass molds, diesel engine cylinder heads, and brake parts.

Application areas

       Foundry: Because Compacted graphite iron It has the properties of both ductile iron and gray iron. Therefore, it has unique uses. Good results have been achieved in steel ingot molds, automobile engines, exhaust pipes, glass molds, diesel engine cylinder heads, brake parts, etc. In particular, the commissioning of the exhaust pipe production line of automobile factories in China marks that the production of compacted graphite iron in China has reached a relatively high level.

       So far, its output is difficult to count, because it is often counted within the output of gray cast iron, rather than from a separate project. The annual output of cast iron in China is not very accurate.

 

 Compacted graphite iron

       Foundry: The vermicularizing agents used in China to produce compacted graphite iron contain rare earth elements, such as rare earth ferrosilicon magnesium alloy, rare earth ferrosilicon alloy, rare earth silicon calcium alloy, rare earth zinc magnesium ferrosilicon alloy, etc. As a result, a series of vermicularizing agents suitable for national conditions has been formed.

       China is in an advantageous position in the research on the formation mechanism of compacted graphite iron. In addition, extensive and in-depth research has been conducted on its processing technology, molten iron smelting and quality control before the furnace, and room temperature and high temperature performance. It should be particularly pointed out that under the conditions of cupola in China, many factories can stably produce compacted graphite iron and have achieved significant economic benefits.

       Foundry : It can be expected that the use of compacted graphite iron has good comprehensive properties, high mechanical properties, high strength at high temperatures, small oxidation growth, dense structure, high thermal conductivity, and small cross-section sensitivity to replace some high-grade gray cast iron, ductile iron and malleable cast iron, which will achieve good technical and economic results.
