INOCULANTS
Inoculant is an additive in producing Cast Iron. With only a small amount of addition, it can significantly improve the microstructure of cast iron, thus improving the mechanical and physical properties of Gray Cast Iron. It can promote graphitization, reduce the white tendency of cast iron, improve the morphology and distribution of graphite, increase the number of eutectic clusters, and refine the matrix structure. The addition of an inoculant to molten cast iron is advisable and even necessary in most cases, in order to be able to produce castings which fulfil the quality requirements.
