Synergetic research approach of the inoculants dissolution processes in the cast iron melt

Abstract

In this paper, using a synergetic approach, the casting processes are investigated, characterized by a large set of parameters that affect the quality of casting. Attempts have been made to describe the mechanism of the influence of the treatment of cast iron with a modifying material on the physicochemical state of its melt with the aim of further improving and developing the proposed approach. It is proposed to consider the foundry technology for the preparation of cast iron melt and its modifying processing as a complex synergetic system with the isolation and description of its basic and key parameters. The scheme of production of castings from ductile iron in sandy-clay molds with rods is presented as the most technologically complex in parametric form. It is shown that the quality of cast iron in castings should be considered depending on the specific type of cast iron with a certain shape of graphite inclusions in the study of casting processes characterized by a large set of parameters. It is concluded that it is possible to use a synergetic approach to the cast iron melt for each type of graphitized structural cast iron (gray cast iron with lamellar graphite, cast iron with vermicular graphite, ductile cast iron with spheroidal graphite).
