Conclusions
-
1.
In piles manufactured by the centrifugal method in molds lined with a sand-resin mixture the depth of the dendritic zone is 1–3.5 mm; with increasing cooling rates this depth increases, and this increases the strength of cast iron rings.
-
2.
Annealing of cast iron of the given composition at 500–830°C for more than 1h decreases the depth of the dendritic zone.
-
3.
Injection of ammonia increases the depth of the dendritic zone and increases the strength of cast iron castings.
