Purpose: The main aim of investigations was the unification of flake graphite morphology in cast iron ingots in conditions of forced convection of liquid metal in the continuous casting mould, which contains electromagnetic stirrer. Design/methodology/approach: To investigations of grey cast iron ingots were used laboratory stand of continuous casting, which contains continuous casting mould with inductor of rotate electromagnetic field. To investigations were made metallographic researches on scanning electron microscope and investigations of usable properties i.e. measurements of hardness and machinability. Findings: The results of investigations and their analysis show possibility of unification of flake graphite morphology in cast iron structure, and distribution of hardness on cross-section of ingot and its machinability. Research limitations/implications: In further research, authors of this paper are going to application of introduced method of continuous casting with use of electromagnetic field in industrial tests. Practical implications: The work presents method of unification of structure and properties, which are particularly important in continuous casting. Uniform morphology of flake graphite in structure of cast iron ingots for automobile industry is very important in viewpoint of machinability. Originality/value: Contributes to improvement in quality of grey cast iron continuous casted ingots.
