Abstract
The problems of obtaining globular graphite in the structure of alloyed cast irons have been investigated insufficiently thoroughly although they have great practical importance. This is associated with the fact that many alloying elements are graphite deglobularizers. The alloying elements in the composition of vanadium cast irons (vanadium and copper) hamper graphite spheroidizing. In order to neutralize their deglobularizing action the modifier should contain remodifying elements.
