APPLICATION
The elements titanium and calcium provide a graphitizing and deoxidizing effect for cast iron with lamellar graphite. In addition, the titanium contained in the LC Grapi- dox reacts with the nitrogen in the molten metal. The soluble nitrogen is thus inef- fective, minimizing the possibility of nitrogen porosity.

ADDITION RATE
Addition rate for ladle inoculation is approx. 0.1 – 0.2% by weight.
SIZING
- 0,124 – 0,7 mm* (in stream inoculation)
- 0,3 – 6 mm (ladle inoculation)
* At this size, the Si level is slightly below the value specified above.
