The invention relates to the fields of
pig iron processing,
metal casting, iron or steel
smelting and the like, in particular to a
casting process for improving the performance of an engine cylinder body and cylinder cover
casting. Comprising the following steps that when molten iron is conveyed to an iron tapping groove of the heat preservation pouring furnace from the interior of the heat preservation pouring furnace in a pressed mode, double-line wire feeding
inoculation is started in the iron tapping groove, and the molten iron subjected to wire feeding
inoculation is poured; in the pouring process, the temperature is controlled to be 1400-1420 DEG C, the pouring speed is 18-23 kg / s, and the adding amount of a wire feeding
inoculation wire is 0.14-0.16% of the
mass of poured molten iron; and after pouring is finished, a cylinder body and cylinder cover casting with
improved performance can be obtained. The molten iron comprises the following components in percentage by
mass: 3-3.5% of C, 1.7-2.3% of Si, 0.4-1.0% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.08% of P, 0.05-0.12% of S, 0.3-1.0% of Cu, 0.15-0.45% of Cr, less than or equal to 0.4% of Mo, less than or equal to 0.15% of Sn and the balance of trace elements and Fe; according to the double-wire feeding inoculation, a first wire feeding inoculation wire is arranged at the position 245-255 mm away from a water outlet of the tapping groove; and a second wire feeding inoculation line is arranged at a position 445-455mm away from the water outlet of the tapping groove.
