Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Dilatometric curves obtained at 800–1000° were analyzed and also the kinetics of graphitization of cast irons with 0.03–0.28% sulfur (excess sulfur not combined with manganese).

  2. 2.

    It was found that the activation energy of graphitization Qε is minimal in the first moments for cast irons with −0.03% ΔS. For all the cast irons investigated the value of Qε decreases with graphitizing time. With a change of ΔS from 0.03 to 0.11% the initial values of Qε increase, and with 0.28% ΔS the final values of Qε increase.
