Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Stable formation of vermicular graphite in magnesium iron with titanium is provided by stabilization of the magnesium content at a certain level in the microvolumes of the solidifying molten metal.

  2. 2.

    The formation of vermicular graphite in magnesium iron is related to a certain content of magnesium in the structural constituents occupying an intermediate position between its content in irons with lamellar and spheroidal graphite.

  3. 3.

    Production procedures provinding strengthening of the inoculating effect of magnesium, the addition of rare-earth metals and mold inoculation, promote an increase in the uniformity of distribution of the inoculant between the structural constituents of the iron.
