Determination of Feederless Casting Limits by Thermal Analysis in Cast Iron
Acta Physica Polonica A, 2017 In this study the determinations of melt quality was carried out by thermal analysis of ductile iron. The aim of the study was to determine the limits of feederless casting after the determination of inoculation quality in cast iron. Production method of pouring into a sand mold in the entirety and without using feeder systems has been investigated ...
