Mieczysław KuderTHE STUDY OF FACTORS ALTERING PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL STATE OF LIQUID CAST IRON AND A SELECTION OF THE MATERIAL PROPERTIESAbstractThe study was conducted to determine the effect of spheroidization and modification method, of the CE value, the content of magnesium and lanthanum on susceptibility to form shrinkage defects, structure and resistance properties of ductile cast iron on thin-walled castings. It was stated that cast iron in the range 4-25 mm is sensitive to wall thickness, especially at very low concentrations of magnesium. It turned out that the most effective modifier was the alloy with barium content. There was no significant effect of lanthanum on the properties of cast iron introduced in spheroidizing mortar as well as in the modifier.
