The results of studies on the use of magnesium alloy in modern cored wire injection method for production of nodular and vermicular graphite cast irons were described. The injection of Mg cored wire length is a treatment method which can be used to process high sulphur cupola iron held in ladles or iron melted in an electric induction furnace. This paper describes the results of using a high-magnesium ferrosilicon alloy in cored wire (Mg recovery 47-70% ) for the production of vermicular and nodular graphite cast irons at Ścinawka Foundry, and for the production of nodular graphite iron at the following foundries: GZUT, KRAKODLEW, Centrozap - DEFKA, EE Zawiercie, WSK-Rzeszów, FWM PRZYSUCHA, HSW Stalowa Wola and PIOMA. The results of calculations and experiments have indicated the length of the cored wire to be injected basing on the initial sulfur content and weight of the treated melt. The results of numerous trials have shown that the magnesium cored wire process can produce high quality nodular and vermicular graphite irons under the specific industrial conditions of the above mentioned foundries. It has also been proved that in the manufacture of nodular graphite iron, the cost of the nodulariser in the form of elastic cored wire is lower than the cost of the FeSiMg or NiCuMg master alloys.
