Visit Elkem’s booth to find out how Elkem’s high-performance inoculants, nodulizers, cover alloys, and pre-conditioners can improve gray-, ductile-, and CG-iron production and casting properties. Topics can include micro-porosity, shrinkage, graphite sizes and shapes, ladle design, and costs. For example, using Elkem’s unique LAMET® nodulizer and TOPSEED® conditioner in pocket ladles gives a quieter magnesium reaction in ductile iron and produces castings with less shrinkage and better properties. Adding ULTRASEED® inoculant to ductile iron reduces chill and improves machinability. (less)
