Abstract

Structure and properties of whitoheart malleable iron cast in gray iron permanent molds are examined. The results of test bars and industrial castings are compared to those of green sand molds. Malleable iron is predestined for casting in permanenet molds, because it must solidify completely white. Faster cooling achieved Dy the permanent mold refines primary austenite dendrites, promotes formation of ledeburite (metastable eutectic) and allows higher contents of graphitizing elements. Silicon content can be raised. The yield improves, annealing time decreases, combination of mechanical properties is improved. Combined metallurgical, technological and environmental advantages can improve economy.
