This process involves a number of patented procedures seeking to control and produce the desired graphite distribution and the desired matrix structure in the casting. It depends primarily on the establishment of a melt of desired degree of undercooling often referred to as constitution and the controlled nucleation of this melt, usually by means of alkaline earth silicide additions. It requires very careful slection of raw materials, meticulous process controls and a very thorough knowledge of the foundry behavior of cast iron.

The Meehanite process involves the use of standard procedures in all phases of casting manufacture including gating and risering techniques, sand control testing methods and many specialized molding procedures. It seeks to eliminate guesswork, thereby resulting in an engineering product of high integrity and reliability.
