Abstract

PURPOSE:To excellently melt the inoculant into the molten metal by dipping a tube made of heat resistant material in the flow of the molten metal, and adding the granular inoculant in the flow of the molten metal. CONSTITUTION:The molten metal of spheroidal graphite cast iron 3 is supplied from a ladle 1 to a mold 2. The tip of a tube 4 is dipped in this flow of the molten metal, and the inoculant 6 in a tank 5 is added to the flow of the molten metal. The tube 4 is made of heat resistant material, e.g. heat resistant ceramics, and it is attachable/detachable. The inoculant 6 to be added in the flow of the molten metal is melted by the sufficient heat of the surrounding molten metal and flows into the mold 2, and the amount of the residual inoculant is greatly reduced. The inoculant 6 does not float due to the surface tension of the molten metal.

However, each of the conventional inoculation methods has the following problems. (A) Ladle inoculation Ladle inoculation has the advantage that the inoculant melts into the melt well and that it has a sedation time to allow the reacted slag to rise, but on the other hand, from inoculation to pouring There is a problem of fading over time and the inoculation effect disappearing. (B) Pouring pouring inoculation Since pouring pouring inoculation is performed immediately before pouring, there is no fading and the inoculation effect is large, but the inoculation As the inoculant floats on the surface of the molten metal because it is added to the surface of the molten metal, the melt of the inoculant into the molten metal is poor and the unmelted residue remains on the surface of the black skin, which not only decreases the strength and ductility, but also increases the excess. There is a problem that there is a lot of waste because the inoculant is used. (C) In-mold inoculation While in-mold inoculation has the advantage of having a large inoculation effect,
There is a problem that the contact between the inoculant and the molten metal is in a short time and unmelted residue is left. (D) Wire inoculation Wire inoculation has the advantages of good penetration and a large inoculation effect because it can be immersed in molten metal and the feed rate can be adjusted, but on the other hand, wire inoculants are expensive and costly. There's a problem. The present invention has been made in view of the problems in the above-mentioned conventional inoculation methods, and it is possible to obtain good dissolution of the inoculant and reduce the undissolved residue, and to improve the addition efficiency of the inoculant. It is an object of the present invention to provide an inoculation method that can be carried out at a low cost.

Means for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention have conducted various studies to achieve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, the cause of poor meltability in the conventional pouring flow inoculation is that the inoculant drops onto the surface of the molten metal. The present inventors have found that it is caused by the fact that the inoculant floats on the surface of the molten metal and flows into the mold due to the surface tension of the molten metal because it is added. That is, in the inoculation method of the present invention, when pouring the spheroidal graphite cast iron melt into the mold, in the inoculation method in which the inoculant is added to the molten metal flow, the pipe made of the heat resistant material is immersed in the molten metal flow. Then, the granular inoculant is added to the molten metal stream through the pipe. As the heat resistant material, there are heat resistant ceramics, and for example, AlN, Al 2 O 3 or the like can be used.
Further, the pipe made of the above heat resistant material can be arranged detachably. Further, a high heat-resistant metal can be used as the heat-resistant material, and in that case, it is necessary to take measures against the dissolution of the metal element from the high heat-resistant metal into the molten metal.

According to the inoculation method of the present invention, the inoculant added to the molten metal through the pipe made of the heat-resistant material, once added to the molten metal, receives sufficient heat of the surrounding molten metal. As it melts and flows into the mold, the unmelted residue is greatly reduced. Therefore, foreign matter biting by the undissolved inoculant in the obtained casting is reduced, and the amount of inoculant used can be saved. With respect to the structure of the spheroidal graphite cast iron obtained by the method of the present invention, it is possible to obtain the result that the chill decreases as the number of graphite particles increases because the inoculation effect is good.
