Foundry Pro

A software based on a touchscreen concept, Foundry Plus is the most comprehensive solution for cast iron industries. The software is used to estimate nodules, flake size and the class and number from 1 to 8 as per ASTM, JIS and ISO standards. Furthermore, the software includes various templates for reporting.

Option to get analysis report based on ASTM 247-67 or ISO 945_1 standards.
Nodules touching boundaries are excluded in analysis.
Artefacts less than 10 microns are excluded in analysis.
Nodules are separated from non-nodules on predefined spheroidicity.
The nodules/flakes form (designated by roman numbers I to VI) and size (designated by Arabic numbers 1 to 8) are reported.
The flake occurring in cast iron in the form I, are reported on the basis of type of distribution (designated by capital letters A to E) and on the basis of orientation.
The percentage of pearlite is calculated by excluding the graphite area.
The matrix of pearlite, ferrite, graphite and carbide are reported in etched sample.
Report is generated with specific international standards chosen by the user.
F% is reported in JIS method.

Cast Iron Analysis

The dedicated module determines flake size from 1 to 8 as per ASTM, JIS, and BIS & ISO standards. The type distribution percentage A, B, C, D, E is calculated interactive tools.
Flakes per square mm is also calculated simultaneously.
Percentage of pearlite, ferrite, graphite and carbide is calculated from Etched sample automatically with predefined values.
