Inoculants are added in liquid cast iron in order to provide the best and consistent characteristics in the final casting. They are used to control and avoid casting defects.
Inoculant / Nucleating Agent
Property and characteristics:
1. Reducing chilling tendency significantly and relative hardness, improve machinability.
2. High anti-decity, prevent declining of inoculants and nodular iron.
3. Enhance the cross section uniformity and prevent the shrink tendency.
4. Low melting point(approaching 1300â). Easy for melting absorb and has little dross.
