Inoculant is a special alloy added in cast iron smelting. Its main function is to improve the solidification structure and performance of cast iron, and improve the quality and mechanical properties of castings. What are the advantages of inoculant in cast iron:
- Improve solidification structure: The addition of inoculant can promote the precipitation of carbides and grain refinement in cast iron, thereby optimizing the solidification structure, reducing internal defects of castings (such as pores, inclusions, etc.), and improving the mechanical properties and surface quality of castings;
- Improve the strength of castings: The role of inoculant helps to reduce the supercooling of molten iron, improve the white cast phenomenon, improve the toughness and strength of cast iron, and make the casting have good tensile, compressive and impact resistance;
- Reduce the fracture rate: Appropriate addition of inoculant can improve the heat treatment performance of cast iron, reduce the fracture rate and shrinkage of castings, and increase the service life of castings;
- Improve the surface quality of castings: Inoculant can reduce the oxidation and contamination of cast iron surface, improve surface finish and flatness, reduce surface defects, and help improve the appearance quality of castings.
