Metal Filtration capacity for Austentic iron what kgs/cm¦?

Metal Filtration capacity for Austentic iron what kgs/cm¦?

(OP)
About to do some heavy wieght filtration trials for Austenitic cast iron 15-6-3 around the 1000 kg mark
using 75x75 or 100x 100 grey foseco sedex filters.

what is a appropriate kg/cm² wieght that I could use?

Got data for SGI, Grey iron, High-Chrome iron... But nothing for austentics...

Thanks in advance

RE: Metal Filtration capacity for Austentic iron what kgs/cm¦?

Foseco should be able to provide the guidance. In the absence of any data you could conservatively use values available for Ductile iron. use multiple gating and a longer runner bar so that filling can be faster and less metal flows through each of the ingates. A non pressurised gating will be desirable.

RE: Metal Filtration capacity for Austentic iron what kgs/cm¦?

The Foseco advise is in fact half the amount as for ductile iron. This means a max. safe trougput of 50 kg for a 75x75 and 100 kg for a 100x100 mm filter. This would mean 10 100x100 mm filters for a 1000 kg poured weight.

We use these recommendations to good satisfaction but on relatively small parts (250 kg max).
