APPLICATION
Due to the matched concentrations of Zr, Ca and Al, the inoculant Optinoc® Z is suitable for use in the production of cast iron with lamellar graphite as well as cast iron with nodular graphite. The combination of these elements, provide a strong in- oculation effect in castings with thin sections.
REFERENCE ANALYSIS
| % Si | 73 – 78 |
| % Zr | 1,2 – 2,0 |
| % Al | 1,2 – 2,0 |
| % Ca | 1,5 – 3,5 |
| % Fe | residual |
ADDITION RATE
Addition rate for cast iron with lamellar graphite should be approx. 0.1 to 0.2% by weight. Addition rate for cast iron with nodular graphite should be approx. 0.2 to 0.4% by weight.
SIZING
- 0,2 – 0,7 mm* (in-stream inoculation)
- 0,7 – 2 mm (ladle inoculation)
- 2 – 6 mm (ladle inoculation)
* In this grain size the Si content is somewhat below the value indicated above.
PACKAGING
- 25 kg paper sacks on pallet
- 1000 kg super sack on pallet
The containers are covered with a protective film.
