The 4th in our series of technical introduction articles focuses on the use of Ferro Silicon Inoculants for the inoculation of graphitic irons.
Inoculation with Ferro Silicon Inoculants is the final stage in the preparation of graphitic irons and involves the introduction of small quantities of highly oxidisable elements such as Aluminium (Al), Barium (Ba), Bismuth (Bi), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), Zirconium (Zr) or the rare earths Cerium (Ce) and Lanthanum (La).
The 3rd in our series of technical introduction articles focuses on the hot topic of Rare earth elements.
The foundry industry is a relatively minor consumer of rare earths; however they are a constituent of some specific foundry alloys, and play an important role in the quality of the final cast product.
Technical Introduction to Metallurgical Process Control Using ATAS® Advanced Thermal Analysis System
The second in our series of technical introduction articles focuses on Novacast Systems ATAS® Advanced Thermal Analysis System and Asmet's expertise in this new, exciting area.
Following careful testing, measurement and analysis of ATAS® data, Asmet can advise on metallurgical process control improvements and selection of materials such as high purity pig iron, ferro silicon, ferro chrome, base iron preconditioners, Magnesium Ferro Silicon / Nodularisers, Ferro Silicon inoculants, fluxing agents , extruded ceramic metal filters and inmould inoculants.
The 1st in our series of technical introduction articles focuses on the growing use of Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI).
Compacted (Vermicular) graphite irons (CGI) have been produced since the inception of Spheroidal Graphite (Nodular or Ductile) Irons in the late 1940's.
