Minenko G.N. On the Effect of Electric Current Treatment on the Fe-C Alloys Inoculation Process
Peculiarities of electric current treatment of Fe-C alloys during inoculation are discussed. Dependencies of increment of alloy strength on current density are given. Variation of inoculant dissolution rate coefficient under the influence of the current treatment of the melt was determined. Changes in the structure of so treated inoculated alloys were found. A physical model of current action on the crystallization centers based on their activation by the flow of conductance electrons is proposed.
Key words: electric current treatment, alloy inoculation process, dissolution of inoculant particles, activation of crystallization centers, enhancement of mechanical properties of alloy.

Chernov V.P., Nasonov P.N., Brylkin Y.A. Properties of Slagstone Castings Crystallized in Mold in Thermal Furnace
Nowadays, replacement of ferrous metal alloy products with less expensive materials is increasingly required. Such materials include cast slagstone products. Their main advantages include: high resistance in acidic and alkaline media, good abrasive wear resistance, and temperature resistance. But, because of the proneness to vitrification silicate melts require additional crystallization. Variation of wear resistance, alkali resistance and temperature resistance of castings crystallized in mold, and similar castings that underwent crystallization in a thermal furnace was studied.
Key words: foundry, wearing capacity, acid resistance, alkali resistance, thermal resistance, heat insulator, crystallizing, thermal processing

Bondarenko Y.A., Yechin A.B., Surova V.A., Narsky A.R. On the Directional Solidification Using Heat-Resistant Alloys
Effect of liquid-metal cooler temperature on the directional solidification conditions and structure of a heat-resistant alloy at directional crystallization of variablecross-section castings of the gas turbine engine blade type is discussed. It is shown that with an increase of the liquid-metal cooler temperature from 250…260 to 900…950°C the temperature gradient at the crystallization front proportionally lowers from 120 to 50°C/cm. At the same time, enlargement of dendritic constituents in the heat-resistant alloy structure is observed; the interdendritic space increases from 210 to 450 ?m. The minimal temperature gradient at the growth front, and the maximal interdendritic space are noted in case of directional solidification without the liquid-metal cooler.
Key words: directional solidification, liquid-metal cooler, heat-resistant alloy, temperature gradient, interdendritic space
