The work investigates inoculants made by two technologies. According to the first technology, an inoculant is made in the form of an ingot by crystallizing melt in a mold, according to the second technology, an inoculant is made in the form of an extra-thin ingot (0.5 - 3 mm thick plates) by continuous casting and freezing on water-cooled molds (drums). A phase electron and X-ray spectral analysis of the inoculants’ structure are carried out to produce vermicular graphite iron. Thus, the paper presents a research on the microstructure of CGI castings “Countershaft” molded in a ladle with the use of inoculants and describes specific features of their influenceenINFLUENCE OF Fe-Si-Mg-REM-INOCULANTS ON THE MICROSTRUCTURE OF IRON CASTINGS WITH VERMICULAR GRAPHITEArticle
