In order to prevent defects in compacted graphite iron products, iron foundries are to address and accomplish the following tasks:
- to reduce sulphur concentration in melts;
- to inoculate melts at high temperatures;
- to produce thick-section castings (castings with thick walls);
- to increase duration of the inoculation effect.
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 compacted graphite 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.
