Summary
This subject represents a wider application basis of the magisterial study in
the field of foundry. It is widening the profound knowledge on the most-
extensive iron alloy used in the foundry practice – especially the high-grade
cast irons such as the grey cast iron, alloyed cast irons, malleable cast
irons and the spheroidal graphite cast irons. It provides a review on the
structural and technological properties and on the application routes of the
graphitic cast irons in the foundry. Particular stress is laid on replacement
of the energy-demanding technologies and materials for castings of high-grade
cast irons.
In the framework of this subject there are taught the technological principles
of gatings and of risering the graphitic cast irons with attention devoted to
the economy.
