It is well known to subject molten iron to nodulating treatment and then to an inoculating treatment shortly before casting to obtain castings having a nodular graphitic structure. Such castings generally undergo a thermal treatment which has the effect of dissolving the carbides and transforming the iron matrix into ferrite or pearlite, or combinations thereof, depending somewhat upon the desired mechanical properties.
Such nodulating treatment consists of introducing pure magnesium or an alloy of magnesium, such as an Fe-Si-Mg alloy, into the molten iron. The inoculating treatment consists of the addition of silicon or an alloy containing silicon, such as an Fe-Si alloy, to the molten iron. The efficiency of the nodulating or inoculating metal or alloy can be improved by the addition of elements. For example, calcium, cesium, yttrium and rare earths are known to improve nodulation while barium is known to improve the effect of the inoculating alloys.
It is an object of this invention to provide a new and improved method for producing nodular iron.
It has been found, in accordance with the practice of this invention, that the combination of a nodulating alloy containing boron in addition to magnesium and an inoculating alloy containing barium in addition to silicon gives results that differ materially by comparison with the use of boron or barium alone in one of the alloys. It has been found that iron castings treated by the combination of boron in the nodulating alloy and barium in the inoculating alloy yields castings which, in the as cast state, are remarkably free of carbides. The described inoculating-nodulating combination of barium and boron has a marked ferritization effect on the iron matrix and, for a given composition of iron, it is possible to obtain a more or less ferritized matrix, depending upon the proportions of the nodulating and inoculating alloy selected.
The absence of carbides plus the possibility to determine the structure of the matrix makes it possible drastically to reduce the length of the final heat treatment. Aside from the reduction in cost, it is most desirable to be able to shorten final heat treatment because otherwise the heat treatment modifies or alters the surface aspects of the castings.
In the practice of the invention, the nodulating alloy is selected to contain an amount of boron such that the ratio of weight percent magnesium and the weight percent of boron meets the following conditions:
10 Mg %lB l and preferably l Mg %IB 30 and when, on the other hand, the inoculating alloy contains barium in the ratio of weight percent silicon and weight percent of barium to meet the following conditions:
3 Si %lBa and preferably 4 Si%/Ba% l2 The following examples are given by way of illustration and not by way of limitation. Examples 1, 2 and 3 do not represent the practice of this invention. Example 1 illustrates the prior art and Examples 2 and 3 illustrate the use of boron alone or barium alone. Examples 4, 5 and 6 represent the practice of this invention wherein the nodulating alloy contains boron and the inoculating alloy contains barium. Example 7 illustrates the non-equivalency between barium and calcium insofar as the practice of this invention is concerned.
The FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the accompanying drawing are photomicrographs of the cast metals of Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4.
EXAMPLE I In a ladle containing 75 kg of molten iron at 1,510 C, 2.250
kg of Fe-Si-Mg nodulating alloy (Mg 9. 1 percent) are added with a plunger. As soon as the plunger isbrought up, 0.375 kg of Fe-Si inoculating alloy (Si 75 percent) are added.
The metal is cast after 9 minutes.
EXAMPLE 2 This example is the same as Example 1 except that 2.250 kg of Fe-Si-Mg-B (Mg 9.1 percent, B 0.48 percent) and 0.375 kg of Fe-Si (Si 75 percent) are used.
EXAMPLE 3 The example is the same as Example 1 except that 2.250 kg of Fe-Si-Mg (Mg 9.25 percent) and 0.420 kg of Fe-Si-Ba (Si 59.5 percent, Ba= 9.8 percent) are used.
EXAMPLE 4 The process is the same as in Example I but, in accordance with the practice of the invention, use is made of 2.250 kg of Fe-Si-Mg-B (Mg 9.1 percent, B 0.48 percent) and 0.420 kg of Fe-Si-Ba (Si 59.5 percent, Ba 9.8 percent).
The composition of the iron after casting and the properties of thin castings before heat treatment are set forth in the following Table I. The accompanying micrographic reproductions clearly show that only the process embodying the practice of this invention yields castings which are free of carbides, an important percentage of ferrite in the matrix and high values for elongation at rupture.
Similar results could also be obtained by the process described in Examples 1, 2 or 3 but a lengthy heat treatment would be required to dissolve the carbides and to modify the carbon distribution.
Table i and the micrographs also show that the process of the invention gives a much higher magnesium efficiency (eval- TABLE I Example 4, Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, according no B, with B, no B, to the no Ba no Be With Ba invention Chemical composition after a nodulating and inoculating treatment, percent:
