Cast iron program focuses on research.
Upon reaching a critical size, the graphite spheroids may float in the molten iron and produce a flotation layer in the upper regions of a ductile iron casting. The carbon percentage in the iron and the saturation level expressed as carbon equivalent are major contributors to the potential for flotation to occur, Heine explained.

In situ synchrotron investigation of degenerate graphite nodule
The temporal evolution of the Carbon concentration is dictated by diffusion, where the diffusivity coefficient depends on the Carbon concentration. Fig. 8 shows the model evolution at two points in time, Fig 8 (a, b), and a representative example of the field around a nodule from the third experimental cycle, Fig 8 (d - f).

Elimination of Shrinkage in Ductile Iron Castings Using …
The carbon level is within the range of 3.40–3.90%. The higher values of carbon are typical of thin-section casting. The high carbon equivalent (CE) and low solidification rate (thick section) may result in graphite flotation and degeneration of the graphite shape. The risk of flotation is practically non-existent in the thinner section.
