Effects of Inoculation on Structure Characteristics of High Silicon Ductile Cast Irons in Thin Wall Castings

Previous experiments pointed out that the deviation using a sphere as reference of graphite particles is noticeably increased by Si-alloying, with inoculation as a possible beneficial effect. The main objective of the present work is to evaluate the effects of commercial inoculants (Ca/Ca, Ba/Ca, RE...
