INOCULANTS
Inoculants are high-quality complex alloys, whose main task is the entry of suitable heterogeneous nucleation sites - crystallization centers in the molten metal. The term Inoculant by itself shows, that the process name is inoculation, extremely small additions of modifiers (inoculants) in the melt on one side, and on the other side big influence on the size, shape and distribution of extracted carbon in grey cast iron. To the base alloy, which is ferrosilicon, elements such as zirconium, manganese, barium, aluminum, strontium, bismuth and others are added.
