In this overview, the permanent mold process to cast ductile iron is examined in its various aspects, including process automation, heat treatment, gating system design, production of large castings, and more. This is the second of three parts.
The importance of brick and refractory materials in iron and steel foundry operations has never been more pronounced. Brick and refractory materials are used in many areas of a foundry. Without them, a foundry could not operate. This final of two...
