EN Iron cast machining is nowadays preceded by the process of marking out, ascertaining appropriate casting precision and size of machined surface surpluses. The procedure entails delineating (etching) boundaries of the nominal machining surpluses upon the raw cast surfaces. Their size, standardized according to the ISO 8062 certificate, depends on maximal cast dimensions and the casting method applied. The characteristic machining surplus size of the hereby investigated typical industrial casts ranges between 6 and 8 mm. As casting accuracy is determined by individual foundry standards, the actual machining surplus size values commonly differ from the nominal ones. Thus, in order to ascertain appropriate machining of a given cast, variable surplus distribution is warranted, resulting in actual surplus size values of 2–12 mm. Inherent to the iron casting procedure are variable hardness values within the casting wall cross-section, with the outer wall surface (directly contingent to the mold that rapidly cools the cast) characterized by the highest hardness value, decreasing incrementally towards its center. Verification of surface hardness values takes place after machining and involves selected work surfaces (e.g. base areas of a runner block). Excessive machining of oversized surpluses within the verified areas results in insufficient hardness of their surfaces. Bearing the above considerations in mind, optimization of surplus distribution was attempted, relating to most advantageous hardness values of selected cast work surfaces. The investigation was conducted under industrial conditions, upon milling center framework casts. The selected work surfaces were processed gradually; the surface hardness was measured after each machining step. Results thus obtained were implemented for further machining surplus optimization of equivalent casts.
