Problems solved by technology

However, the addition of alloying elements increases the cost of materials
[0005] The commonly used inoculants are fine-grained materials, blocks or prefabricated blocks made of powder and binder, and there is a practical problem that the modification is not complete, especially the improvement effect on the strength of castings is poor.

Abstract

The invention discloses an amorphous nucleating agent for gray pig iron and a preparation method and using method thereof. The amorphous nucleating agent comprises, by weight, 45-78% of Si, 0.8-3% of Al, 0-1% of Sr, 0-6% of Ba, 0-7% of Zr, 0-2% of Mn, 0-4% of Cr, 0-0.4% of Cu, and the balance Fe. The amorphous nucleating agent is prepared through a rapid cooling method which is different from process conditions of the prior art, and the adding amount of the amorphous nucleating agent is 0.03-0.12wt% of a gray pig iron solution of a pouring ladle. The amorphous nucleating agent can increase the eutectic cell number of the gray pig iron, and graphite flakes are shorter; and comparison shows that the eutectic cell number is increased by 50% or more compared with common gray pig iron, the graphite flakes are shortened by 30% or more, and the tensile strength can be increased by 15% or more.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to cast iron alloys, in particular to an amorphous inoculant for gray cast iron, a preparation method and a use method thereof. Background technique [0002] Gray cast iron has good wear resistance, shock absorption and machinability, and has high compressive strength, so it is widely used in industry. [0003] Since the carbon in gray cast iron is mainly distributed in the metal matrix in the form of flake graphite, its fracture is dark gray, so gray cast iron can be regarded as a steel matrix plus flake graphite. Since the strength of graphite is extremely small relative to the metal matrix, the structure of gray cast iron can be regarded as many "cracks" on the steel matrix, so its tensile strength, plasticity and impact toughness have limits. Therefore, improving the performance of gray cast iron has become the goal pursued by the foundry industry. [0004] At present, the main methods to improve the performance of gray cast...
