In order to prevent defects in gray iron products, iron foundries are to address and accomplish the following tasks:
- to produce thick-section castings;
- to inoculate melts at high temperatures, to remove iron carbides, or chill;
- to increase duration of the inoculation effect;
- to increase the strength and improve the microstructure of castings.
These tasks can be accomplished by iron foundries if they select appropriate inoculation methods and materials for treating liquid metal. Depending on the peculiarities of the practices applied in the production of fray iron and equipment used, our Technological Support specialists will select the relevant inoculation materials with respect to chemical composition and size range and develop suitable inoculation methods.
If necessary, new inoculation materials can be developed and manufactured to be utilized for special-purpose applications in individual foundries.
In order to get a preliminary consultation, you are kindly requested to complete the relevant request for information form.
