Purpose and area of application

Quick-cooled inoculant “Chips” in plates (0,5-3)x(5-50)x(5-50) mm is applied for the inoculation of grey iron and nodular cast iron of any melt method, chemical composition and temperature, desulfuration of grey iron and sources for nodular cast irons 

Characteristics

• Base:  Si, Al, Fe, Cu
• Active constituents: Ca, Mg, Ba, Zr
• Temperature of initial melt:  from 1300⁰C
• Consumption:
•        for graphitization and spheroidization 40-80% as compared with classic inoculants
•        for desulfuration counting 60-95% of active constituents assimilation

Advantages

• high density and homogeneity of inoculated cast irons 
• high assimilation degree for dust-like particles absence
• high dissolution rate even in cold high sulfur cast irons
• self-dispersion under injection in liquid metal
• minimum pyroeffect and smoke formation under processing 
• slow oxidation under keeping inoculants 
• absence of preliminary preparation to use
• it is permissible open placement on ladle bottom under nodular cast iron inoculation
