The vermiculation effects of compacted graphite cast iron are seriously affected by the metallurgical and technological factors. The change of characteristic points on the cooling curve is attributed to the interaction of these factors, so it is difficult to establish the evaluation relationship between the vermicularity and the characteristic points of thermal analysis curve. Based on the idea of statistics, a method was studied to evaluate the vermicularity of molten iron by comparing with an established characteristic points representation model of hypothetical ideal metallurgical quality state under the production condition. The results showed that the method can meet the requirements of evaluating the vermicularity of molten iron by multiple characteristic points on the cooling curve. As the matching process among cooling curves was omitted, the calculation and evaluation efficiency can be improved. In addition, it is expected to achieve on-line classification and regulation of vermiculation effect in front of furnace by expanding the sample capacity for establishing the characterization model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
