Abstract

The effect of mold density and evacuation on surface defect of high chromium cast iron upon EPC process was investigated. Under evacuation of $0.1{\sim}0.3$ atm, surface defects were carbon defect, burn on and misrun. Carbon defect was augmented by increasing mold density from 0.011 g/$cm^3$ to 0.03 g/$cm^3$ under evacuation of $0.1{\sim}0.3$ atm, but carbon defect was decreased by increasing evacuation from 0.1 to 0.3 atm. Burn-on wasn't found under evacuation of 0.1 atm regardless of mold density, but burn-on was augmented by increasing evacuation from 0.2 to 0.3 atm and decreased by reducing mold density. Misrun was only found under 0.1 atm evacuation and 0.011 g/$cm^3$ mold density.
