News: Late Stream Addition
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.
