Inoculants
Specialized ferrosilicon-based alloys that control matrix structures and eliminate defects in high-performance cast iron.
KEY APPLICATIONS
Key Features
Precision Inoculation for
Flawless Cast Iron
Inoculants are added to liquid grey and ductile irons to provide consistent characteristics and high quality in the final casting.
They are specifically used to control the matrix structure and eliminate common casting defects.
Our products are available in several grain sizes to satisfy different addition methods: furnace, ladle, in-stream, or in-mould.
Our technical experts help select the specific ferrosilicon-based product for your unique application and foundry process.
Product Forms
Quality Assurance
Our inoculants production is governed by strict ISO 9001 :2015 protocols, with meticulous monitoring from raw material to final packaging.
Strict control of active elements (Ba, Sr, Ca) is maintained through regular spectrometer analysis.
Particle size distribution is verified with laser particle analyzers to ensure effective dissolution and inoculation.
Infrastructure
For inoculants, we utilize induction furnaces and a controlled crushing process to achieve tight size specifications.
Packaging is conducted in a moisture-controlled environment, with options including waterproof bags and steel drums.
Metallurgy
Inoculation creates nucleation sites for graphite precipitation. This prevents undercooling and the formation of carbides or "chill".
The effectiveness of an inoculant depends on its active elements. Ba offers fade resistance, Sr is a powerful graphite promoter, and Zr refines structure.
Proper inoculation results in a homogenous microstructure, which improves machinability, tensile strength, and casting consistency.
ISO 9001 :2015 CERTIFIED QUALITY SYSTEM
All production batches are tested in-house to ensure consistent chemical and metallurgical parameters.
