INOCULANTS |
| |
| Introduction:
One of the ever present challenges to even the most experienced
foundryman is the selection of the best Inoculation combination
of elements and practice to optimize and achieve the required
cast metal structure and matrix.Therefore, while there
are several permutations and combinations of various Elements
to achieve desired results in a single homogenous addition,
Barium containing inoculants are amongst the most popular
as, in combination with certain elements, they are generally
suited both for the inoculation of Grey and Ductile iron. |
| |
| Function:
The element Barium is known to improve graphite nucleation
and reduce fading. It also reduces chill, promotes graphite
and neutralizes harmful tramp elements. |

Benefits:
Homogenous combination of Ba, Ca provides a reliable,
reproducible, consistent source of inoculation elements
Reduces Chill and promotes graphite nucleation
Resists fading, allowing for the nuclei containing Ba
to remain stable for longer periods of time therefore
very suitable for large castings and for thick walled
castings where holding and pouring times are high.
Increases nucleation rates in both Grey & Ductile
irons |
