MeltLabGuy (Materials) 6 Jan 10 15:20. Carbon flotation in ductile iron is caused when the foundry allows the Carbon Equilivant to exceed the ability of the magnesium to suppress graphite formation in the liquid. My experience suggests that limit is about 4.55 - 4.60 with moderate levels of magnesium 0.030 to 0.035%.

flotation of fine apatite and found that maximum content of 60% P2O5 was achieved when fine apatite was floated by bubbles with a diameter less than 300 µm. This finding indic- ...
