| 44 min High crystalization speed with Milliken's HPN-68 nucleator can shorten cycle times by as much as 40%. Because the properties of gray iron are greatly influenced by the thermal and chemical changes occurring from its molten stage to cooled casting, more nucleation sites and more heat of crystalization limit undercooling and promote equilibrium, or slower, solidification. Also called amorphous metals, these glasses possess unusual electronic and magnetic properties but are tough to make because the molten metal must cool very quickly to prevent crystalization, says chemist Kenneth S. |
