Avoiding shrinkage defects and maximizing yield in ductile iron
The paper discusses the methods to avoid shrinkage defects and maximize casting yields, including maximizing %CE just below the level where flotation occurs, while using the minimum final Si and Mg contents; maintaining base S as steadily as possible; using nodulariser containing a low level of pure La and/or proprietary S and O coated inoculant, to generate finer nodule size; controlling the loss of nucleation in base iron and/or treated iron, due to excessive holding time; accelerating freezing at appropriate places rather than riser including metal chills, chill fins, or chilling inserts that freeze within the casting, and maintaining mould strength.
