The compacted graphite was obtained with the use of magnesium treatment process (Inmold technology). The lack of significant effect of tin on the temperature of the eutectic transformation has been demonstrated. On the other hand, a significant decrease in the eutectoid transformation temperature with increasing tin concentration has been shown. It was demonstrated that tin narrows the temperature range of the austenite transformation. The effect of tin on the microstructure of cast iron with compacted graphite considering casting wall thickness has been investigated and described. The carbide-forming effect of tin in thin-walled (3 mm) castings has been demonstrated. The nomograms describing the microstructure of compacted graphite iron versus tin concentration have been developed. The effect of tin on the hardness of cast iron was given.}, type={Article}, title={Compacted Graphite Iron with the Addition of Tin}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/116481/PDF/AFE%203_2020_03.pdf}, doi={10.24425/afe.2020.133323}, keywords={Theory of crystallization, compacted graphite iron, Tin, Cooling and derivative curves}, }
