Abstract

See full text

The present invention is direct to a method/apparatus for verifying a nodularization process in a molten iron disposed within a ladle. The method includes the steps of: transferring the ladle with the molten iron to a nodularization area; adding an amount of magnesium to the molten iron in the ladle for producing the nodularization process in the molten iron; measuring vibration of the ladle containing the molten iron caused by the nodularization process in the molten iron; comparing the measured vibration with a predetermined level of vibration; and determining that the nodularization process occurs if the measured vibration is higher than the predetermined level of vibration.
