The effect of the differential cooling regime on the structure and mechanical properties of gray iron castings is investigated. A technical solution has been developed for the differentiated change in the cooling rate of cast iron castings. An increase in the cooling rate during dendritic crystallization was achieved by blowing the mold with compressed air. To slow down the cooling rate in the interval of eutectic transformation, an exothermic carbon-containing additive, fuel oil M-100, was used. It is shown that the use of controlled cooling can significantly increase the tensile strength of cast iron without introducing additional alloying elements into the composition of cast iron.
