The Inoculant master alloy and the Nodulariser mixture are both essential for producing high-quality wire. The process also involves mixing a suitable graphite inoculant and a supplementary inoculant such as Superseed(r). This article will examine these ingredients and how they affect the manufacturing process. It will also touch on the benefits of each type of inoculant.
The manufacturing process of an inoculant consists of a process where a solid particle is introduced into the melt. The solid particles in the melt are of the same phase and have similar lattice parameters as the solidifying alloy. Hence, they are able to bypass the nucleation stage and form the matrix as the melt solidifies. The solid particles must be stable in the melt and should survive long enough to influence the solidification process.
The inoculant alloy is added to the casting molds prior to filling or late in the process. It is crucial to select the correct chemistry of the inoculant alloy. It should have Ba content between 1.5% mass and Ca content between 0.5 and 2% mass. This alloy should be able to eliminate chunky graphite defects in the wire.
The graphite inoculant cored wire (CGI) manufacturing process begins with the thermal analysis of the Mg and inoculant base. This thermal analysis enables the software to determine the required number of cored wires. Once the wirefeeder is initiated, the ladle is moved to the molding or casting line. During the process, an on-line measure-and-correct (M&C) process is performed in parallel with the deslagging and deslagged process.
A conventional method for making the Superseed(r) inoculants for cored wire is disclosed. The inoculant is a mix of titanium and zirconium with less than 0.35% calcium. Titanium and zirconium with strontium is also a suitable choice. These two metals are compatible with silicon metal. The preferred method involves using a submerged arc furnace.
The wire injection method uses a sacrificial steel tube to introduce metallurgical powder into molten steel. Its inherent advantages make it an efficient, low-cost way of introducing metallurgical powder to a particular depth. Minex has a long history of wire feeders, from small, portable units to large, automated facilities. They offer metallurgical support and personalized attention, rugged designs, and exceptional customer service.
