Foundry alloys
Elkem offers a wide range of precision-formulated products including preconditioners and inoculants with a global presence. The quality and consistency of foundry alloys are crucial for the production of cast iron in iron foundry processes, and Elkem's products deliver the performance needed.
Preconditioners
At Elkem, we partner with your foundry team to identify and provide the right preconditioners to assess nucleation potential during the early stages of the casting process, no matter where you are located.
Recarburizers
Elkem provides high-quality, readily dissolvable recarburizers to guarantee uniform carbon recovery in all foundry conditions. This helps regulate carbon content during the early and late stages of the melting process and avoid issues caused by inconsistent recarburizers in the market.
Conditioners
Conditioners (or cover alloys) provide a variety of benefits for ductile iron treatments, including improved magnesium recovery and simplified slag separation and removal. Elkem will work with your foundry team to select and supply the best conditioner for you, in whatever country you’re based.
Nodularizers
Elkem specialists can assist you in finding the ideal nodularizer for your metal treatment processes by utilizing their expert knowledge and global reach. Care must be taken to correctly adjust the composition and amount of nodularizer for optimal spheroidal graphite formation in ductile iron melts.
Inserts
Elkem provides high-quality inoculant inserts for optimizing nucleation potential in poured iron. These inserts, used in the molding process, are highly effective for gray iron, ductile iron, and compacted graphite cast iron. Elkem's products come with expert advice.
Inoculants
Elkem offers a superior range of inoculants crucial for preventing metallurgical defects in cast iron due to inadequate nucleation. Our worldwide supply and knowledgeable specialists will assist you in selecting the ideal inoculants for your specific use case.
Technical Support
Our support staff have extensive experience and can offer the best advice possible to help you to eliminate defects and optimise your metal treatment processes, working as part of your team.
