APPLICATION
SB 10 is a product for the pre-inoculation of iron melts. The addition can take place in the melting furnace, during tapping or even during racking. The ferrosilicon-based material is suitable for use in both gray and nodular iron. Especially the combination of the element barium with aluminum and calcium provides a good pre-alloying inoculation with a positive effect on subsequent processes. This results above all in a lower inoculating effect, a favoring of graphite precipitation, a lower tendency to white solidification and ultimately an improvement of the mechanical properties of the castings.
REFERENCE ANALYSIS
| % Si | 60 – 77 |
| % Ba | 8 – 12 |

ADDITION RATES
The amount added will depend on the conditions present, such as the temperature of the iron or the type and time of addition, and should be 0.1- 0.5 %.
