TIP-Converter Process: A Ductile Iron Production Process

摘要

Using the TIP-converter process for ductile iron production at Pori Foundry hasresulted in a number of advantages. Higher magnesium recovery has permitted the use of less nodulizing alloy. Less fume and glare, reduced temperature loss during magnesium treatment, improved working conditions and cost savings in materials and maintenance have been obtained. A series of design modifications for the TIP-converter process has been made to improve the working efficiency. A tiltable magnesium treatment vessel with a special alloy pocket is illustrated, the description for TIP-converter process and the consequence of operations and contained in the paper.
