The application of spheroidal graphite cast iron in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Uporaba nodularne grafitne litine v Bosni in Hercegovini

Modern technology ensures the quality and the economy of machine parts manufactured from spheroidal graphite iron (SGI) castings. Although this technology has been in widespread use in the EU countries for half a century and the production volumes continue to increase, in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) there is no interest in the production and use of SGI. From an analysis of industrial facilities we have concluded that the foundry industry in B&H could also be competitive in the market for SGI. Moderna tehnologija zagotavlja kakovost in ekonomičnost strojnih delov, izdelanih iz nodularne grafitne litine. Čeprav je ta že pol stoletja veliko uporabljena v državah EU in v ZDA, obseg proizvodnje pa stalno raste, v Bosni ni zanimanja za proizvodnjo in uporabo nodularnih odlitkov. Iz analize industrijskih kapacitet sklepamo, da bi lahko bila livarska industrija v BiH konkurenčna tudi na trgu nodularnih odlitkov.
