Silicon Barium Inoculant for Casting
Silicon barium inoculant is a specialized additive for casting, widely used in the casting processes of gray castings and graphite castings. It features high purity, excellent chemical stability, and low sulfur and nitrogen content, effectively enhancing the inoculation effect of molten iron during casting, promoting the quantity and structure of crystals, increasing casting output, and improving the overall performance of castings. This silicon barium inoculant for casting is a new material developed in-depth by XLS Metals specifically for users in the casting field. It is produced using high-purity silica and baryte as raw materials through advanced production processes developed in-house, demonstrating good performance across different types of castings.
Function of Silicon Barium Inoculant for Casting
In the casting process of gray cast iron, the silicon barium inoculant exhibits outstanding performance, quickly dissolving in molten iron. Experiments have shown its effectiveness in promoting the quantity of eutectic globules in the molten iron, thereby increasing the internal microstructure density of gray cast iron, improving its cutting performance and plasticity, while also reducing the occurrence of cracks and the tendency for white cast iron during production.
By adding the silicon barium inoculant for casting during the production of graphite cast iron and observing the structure under a microscope, it has been found that the shape of graphite in the cast iron changes from A to B after the inoculant is added. Additionally, it improves the production efficiency of graphite cast iron, resulting in a significant increase in output.
Advantages of Silicon Barium Inoculant for Casting
High Purity: The silicon barium inoculant for casting is made from high-purity raw materials with low impurities, featuring Si ≥ 75% and Ba ≥ 6%. It significantly reduces harmful elements such as phosphorus §, sulfur (S), and nitrogen (N) through patented processes, making it suitable for various types of cast iron.
High Chemical Stability: This inoculant does not readily undergo chemical reactions with other elements during the casting process, greatly reducing trace elements in the molten iron, effectively controlling the chemical composition of different types of cast iron, and improving their overall performance.
Low Melting Point: It can melt into the molten iron at lower temperatures and has insulation properties, reducing energy consumption and providing a stable high-temperature environment for the casting process.
