Special iron are used for a steel deoxidation. Their production makes 10 %
from all production of steel.
Blast furnace slag after crushing and processing are used for manufacturing of
bricks, as additives in cement and as an insulating material.
Blast furnace gases after cleaning and an dewatering are used for heating of
various rooms.
Classification of cast iron.
Cast iron is called an iron alloy with carbon and
other elements containing
more than 2,14 % s.
In metallurgical production cast iron is melt in blast furnaces. Received cast
iron subdivide on: steel-making iron, special iron (ferroalloys) and foundry.
Steel-making and special iron is used for the subsequent processing in steel.
Foundry iron (about 20 % of all melted cast iron)
is sent on machine building
plants for use when manufacturing cast preparations of details (molding).
Not alloyed constructional cast iron for production of moulding in mechanical
engineering has the following chemical composition, %: 2-4,5С., 1-3,5 Si., 0,5-1
Мn., content of impurity: no more than 0,3 % of S., no more than 0,15 % .
The wide circulation of cast iron in the industry is caused by an optimum
combination of various properties: technological (foundry, workability cutting),
operational (mechanical and special) and technical and economic indicators.
Characteristic of cast iron is that carbon in an alloy can be not only in
dissolved and in the connected condition (in the
form of chemical connection-
cement-carbide), but also in a free condition - in the form of graphite.
Classification of cast iron is carried out on the following signs:
- on a carbon condition - free or connected.,
- in a form of inclusions of graphite - lamellar, vermikulyarny, spherical,
temper.,
- as structure of a metal basis - ferrite, pearlite., also cast iron with the mixed
structure: for example ferrite-pearlite.,
- on chemical structure - not alloyed cast iron (general purpose) and alloyed cast
iron(special purpose).
Depending on a form of allocation of carbon in cast iron distinguish:
- white cast iron in which all carbon is in the connected condition in a look
cement carbide.,
- molted iron in which the main amount of carbon (more than 0,8 %) is in a
look cement carbide,
- gray cast iron in which all carbon or its most part is in a free condition in the
form of lamellar graphite.,
- the chilled cast iron in which the bulk of metal has structure of gray cast iron,
and a superficial layer - white.,
- high-strength cast iron in which graphite has a spherical form.,

- the malleable cast iron which is turning out from white by annealing at which
carbon passes to a free condition in the form of temper graphite.
