Abstract: A detailed introduction was given to the cored wire injection nodularizing process and the specifications of thecored wire. The Y-base heavy rare earth-containing RE-Mg-Si-Fe nodularizing alloy was used to produce heavy automotive bridge housing and wind power nodular iron castings. The test results showed: (1) when being used for production of heavy section nodular iron castings, the Y -base heavy RE -Mg -Si -Fe nodularizing alloy has relatively strong anti -nodularizing degeneration capacity so it could ensure the casting material quality requirement; (2) Cored wire injection nodularizing process is a excellent process which could ensure the nodular iron casting quality.Keywords: Y -base heavy RE -Mg -Si -Fe nodularizing alloy -cored wire; cored wire injection nodularizing process; anti -nodularizing degeneration capacity
As a result, the number of graphite spheres is small, the spheroidization rate is reduced, and the tendency of slag inclusion, shrinkage and carbides to be increased, and the cost increases. Therefore, the amount of w (Mg residual) should be reduced as much as possible on the premise of ensuring good spheroidization. Generally, the amount of w (Mg residual) ≥ w (S final) amount + 0.024%. To
(3) Case study Case 1: The influence of the amount of w (MgO) in the spheroidizing agent. Plant A uses two spheroidizing agents with both w (Mg) content of 5.8%, w (Mg residual) content is both 0.035%, w (MgO) content is 0.38% and 0.82%, respectively. The latter has poor spheroidization. After calculation, the corresponding effective w (Mg) amounts are 0.033% and 0.030%, respectively.
Case 2: The influence of Mg absorption rate. Plant B uses spheroidizing agent with w (Mg) content of 6%, adding 1.0%, and w (Mg residual) volume fluctuates to 0.042% and 0.030%, respectively. The latter has poor spheroidization, and the corresponding Mg absorption rate 70% and 50% respectively
Case 3: The influence of spheroidizing agent composition fluctuation. Plant B uses a spheroidizing agent, the amount of w (Mg) is 5.6% and 6.3%, which meets the range of standard (6±0.5)%, the amount of addition is 1.0%, and the amount of w (Mg residual) is 0.034%, 0.039 %, the former has poor spheroidization.
Case 4: The influence of RE composition in spheroidizing agent. In the comparative test conducted by Plant C, the spheroidizing agent is only different in RE, which are single Ce and Ce+La. As a result, the number of graphite spheres containing Ce+La increases significantly, and the shrinkage tendency decreases. 4 Conclusion
(1) High-quality raw iron liquid is the prerequisite for producing high-quality ductile iron;
(2) Stable spheroidizing process is a guarantee;
(3) The use of high-quality spheroidizing agent can significantly reduce defects such as poor spheroidization, slag inclusion, shrinkage, and subcutaneous pores, while reducing the amount of spheroidizing agent added.

The wire feeding spheroidization process is to continuously insert the cored wire containing alloying elements into the bottom of the treatment package through the wire feeding machine. After the action of the high temperature molten iron, the core skin is melted, and the core material (alloying element) immediately contacts the molten iron , The process of spheroidization reaction. According to the introduction of relevant materials, and verified by the practice of the feeding wire spheroidizing process in the first and second foundry of FAW Foundry Co., Ltd.,
This process has the following advantages:
(1) Compared with the spheroidizing process of the flushing method, it can reduce the cost of spheroidizing;
(2) Facilitate centralized treatment of smoke and dust, improve the working environment, and reduce the labor intensity of workers;
(3) The operation is simple, easy to control, easy to realize automatic management, easy to avoid operation errors, and stabilize the quality of spheroidization. The spheroidizing processing station of the feeding line is shown in Figure 2. To
