Carbonaceous materials are typically used as melt covers over pure copper, brass and bronze or other copper alloys, to prevent oxidation of the melt and to deter formation of oxide slag. While various …
Recarburizing for Steel
Producing the appropriate carbon level in steel is of critical importance in order to create the desired characteristics of the final product. These include tensile strength, yield strength, hardness, …
Inoculation in Cast Iron
Poor base iron nucleation and inoculation can be a typical cause for the formation of poor graphite structures in both gray and ductile irons, which can ultimately lead to the desired mechanical and …
Carbon Additives for Ductile Iron
Ductile Iron foundries use a variety of carbon additives to increase the carbon content of the ductile iron and austempered ductile iron melt in order to provide a number of beneficial …
