This paper explains that the vermicularity of Si-Mo vermicular iron is better to be controlled approximately to 50% for the applications of exhaust manifold castings, and generalizes the successful experience of vermicularizing technique that uses sandwich (pour over) process combining with cored-wire injection in trough process together, and uses rare earths-magnesium-silicon as vermicularizing alloy in Disa high speed molding line and automatic plug rod air pressure pouring furnace. In addition, this paper also describes the method to solve the shrinkage hole and porosity defects in the exhaust manifold production.展开更多

SiMo granular graphite cast irons contain Fe2MoC and M6C carbide precipitates due to their higher concentration of both silicon and molybdenum. The microstructure of these cast irons consists of carbides dispersed within the ferrite matrix. The microstructural change and the crack formation mechanism in manifolds produced from SiMo ductile iron are studied. Chemical analysis,optical and scanning electron microscope studies have been completed and evaluated.展开更多
