Casting wt: 47.3 kg.
Considering 70% yield
Bunch wt:68.3kg {consider M:S ratio}
Pouring Time = √Bunch weight x 2.2
For Example :
Bunch weight is 68.3Kg x 2.2
√68.3x2.2 = 15Sec.
Flow rate = Bunch weight/pouring time
For Green Sand Casting – 4 to 5 kg
molten metal should pass in 1sec.
For Hand Molding casting - 6 to 7 kg
molten metal should pass in 1sec.

The purpose of gating system is
to allow the liquid iron to fill
mold cavity while, at the same
time ,screening out slag.

Addition : 1 to 1.2% of Liquid metal
Note : Don’t place in treatment ladle pocket until 15 to 20sec prior to tap, because alloy may fuse and stick to bottom and cause poor recovery

FeSiMg Treatment Base metal treatment temperature from 1530c to 1560c depending
upon section thickness of the casting.
Magnesium has boiling point about 1107c which is far lower than temperature of molten cast iron being treated. This together with high vapor pressure of magnesium at the treatment temperature prevent easy dilution of magnesium and result inconsiderable ignition and violence during the reaction.
Magnesium is also powerful desulphuriser element , so reacts with all sulfur present in the base metal before it become effective in changing graphite form, from flake to spheroid.
Magnesium reacts with sulfur /oxygen and form MgS which called dross (slag).
Specified range of residual magnesium to ensure the fully nodular structure is 0.035 to 0.045% of Mg . It should be noted that the major Mg is the total Mg i.e. it includes Mg combined as MgO , MgS and MgSiO3.
If the residual magnesium is too high i.e. above 0.06% there is strong risk of magnesium exerting its power tendency to promote carbide formation, porosity and dross.

The metallurgical meaning of
the word “inoculation” is to
provide the melt with seeds
or “nuclei” onto which the
solid phases grow during
freezing.

Need for Inoculation
While pouring metal in mould, due to sudden change in
cooling temp i.e non equilibrium condition means from
1450 to 28 0r 30 degree room temp, under-cooling or
super cooling happens and because of there is chance of
difference in microstructure and there is chance of
carbide formation.
From inoculation nuclei , eutectic cell form in the metal
get warm and temp raised and come to equilibrium and
uniform cooling.

Stages of Inoculation
Stream inoculation size i.e 1 to 3mm for 500kg and 2 to
7 mm above 1ton
Late stream inoculation size 0.2 to0.5 mm

Use of Inoculation
For 10 to 40 mm ladle addition of 0.4 to 0.6%
For 3mm to 5mm ladle addition may be 0.8%
In case of late stream inoculation 0.1 to o.2 %

Effect of inoculation
Improve nodule count
Avoid carbide formation
Promoter graphite formation
Refining of microstructure
Reduce segregation tendency
Reduce shrinkage tendency
Improve machinability
Increase tensile strength
Increase ductility
Excess inoculation form more nuclei and because of this more graphite form.
Graphite has low density i.e 2.5 hence we get excess graphite on machine surface.
