Effect of multi-element analyzer on sulfur, copper and chromium in gray cast iron
Effect of multi- element analyzer on sulfur, copper and chromium in gray cast iron QL-S  1 , sulfur   Reducing the fluidity of molten iron and increasing the tendency of hot cracking of castings are harmful elements in castings. Many people think that the lower the sulfur content, the better, but it is not. When the sulfur content is ≤ 0 . At 05 %, such cast iron does not work for the common inoculant we use, because it is very fast, and often produces white mouth in the casting. 2 , copper   Copper is the most commonly added alloying element for the production of grey cast iron, mainly due to the low melting point of copper ( 3 , chrome   The alloying effect of chromium is very strong, mainly because the chrome increases the tendency of the molten iron white mouth, and the casting is easy to shrink, resulting in waste. Therefore, the amount of chromium should be controlled. On the one hand, it is hoped that the molten iron contains a certain amount of chromium to improve the strength and hardness of the casting; on the other hand, the chromium is strictly controlled to the lower limit to prevent the casting from shrinking and the scrap rate is increased. Traditional experience suggests that the amount of chromium in the original molten iron exceeds zero . At 35 %, it will have a fatal effect on the casting.
