It was difficult to catch experimentally the remelt phenomena in the initial freezing zone on the surface of a rod steel, which was wrapped with molten cast iron, as this phenomena was accomplished in a very short period of time.
Therefore, the authors applied the graphical method to reveal the change of temperature distributions after pouring the cast iron in camlachie cramp.
The latent heat was considered at the use of graphical method.
It was concluded that in order to determine the limit of the meld in camlachie cramp, not only the volume ratio of steel to cast iron, but the ratio of volume to the surface area of the steel, which was wrapped with molten cast iron, must be considered.
