Chemical Composition
| Element | Min (%) | Max (%) | Typical (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si | 70 | 76 | 73 |
| Ca | 1.0 | 2.0 | 1.5 (Ca-based) |
| Ba | 2.0 | 4.0 | 3.0 (Ba-based) |
| Sr | 0.5 | 1.0 | 0.7 (Sr-based) |
| Al | 0.5 | 1.5 | 1.0 |
| Fe | - | - | Balance |
Key Features
- Ca-based: Si 70-76%, Ca 1-2% - general purpose inoculation
- Ba-based: Si 70-76%, Ba 2-4% - long-lasting, fading resistant
- Sr-based: Si 70-76%, Sr 0.5-1% - for thin-section parts
- Chill (white solidification) prevention
- Ensures homogeneous graphite distribution
- Grain sizes suitable for different application methods
Applications
- Ductile iron inoculation
- Grey iron inoculation
- Thin-section castings
- Automotive cast parts
- Pipe and valve bodies
- Hydraulic components
Technical Notes
- Ba-based inoculants have longer fading time.
- Sr-based inoculants effectively prevent chill in thin sections.
- Inoculation amount is typically between 0.1-0.5%.
- 0.2-0.7mm grain size is used for in-mold inoculation.
- 1-3mm or 3-8mm preferred for ladle inoculation.
