Development of a technology for producing cast iron in an induction crucible furnace, modification in a ladle and casting in a system of casting molds

In this study, a technology for producing high-strength spheroidal graphite cast iron of grade VCh50 using secondary steel scrap in an induction crucible furnace was developed. During the research, the efficiency of using complex modifiers in the ladle and mold gating system was investigated. The influence of elements such as magnesium, calcium, aluminum, barium, cerium, and lanthanum contained in these modifiers on the graphite morphology, structure, and mechanical properties of the molten cast iron was analyzed.
