Calcium Wire Ladle Treatment To Improve Cleanliness Of Centrifugal Cast Steel, Edith Yolanda Martinez Silva
Masters Theses
"Centrifugal casting provides the opportunity of combining large centrifugal forces and directional solidification to reduce non-metallic inclusions in the cast steel product. Calcium treatment in the ladle has the potential of reducing and modifying non-metallic inclusions to achieve better machinability and mechanical properties. The objective of this research is to analyze the combined effects of calcium wire ladle treatment and centrifugal casting on the number, size, composition and morphology of non-metallic inclusions in centrifugally cast steel products.
All experiments were completed at an industrial foundry. The experiments involved feeding calcium wire into the ladle after argon oxygen decarburization (AOD) and …
