Inoculante da fonderia (FeSiZr)

FeSiZr is a zirconium-bearing ferrosilicon inoculant for grey and ductile cast iron. Added to the molten metal just before or during pouring, its Si 73-78% matrix carries active elements — Zr 1-3%, Ca 0.8-1.5%, Al 0.8-1.5%, Mn 1-3% — that form oxide and oxysulfide micro-sites. These nuclei seed graphite precipitation during eutectic solidification, suppressing carbides and chill. In grey iron this favours fine, evenly distributed Type A flake; in ductile iron it raises nodule count and density and improves nodularity, rather than forming the nodular shape itself, which the Mg treatment governs. The Zr and Mn fractions also deoxidize and scavenge residual nitrogen, reducing pinhole and fissure defects in thicker sections. Foundries running grey iron, ductile iron, and section-sensitive castings use FeSiZr where late fade is a problem: the Zr-stabilized nuclei resist dissolution, holding nucleation potential well past the typical inoculation window. Standard ladle addition runs 0.1-0.4 wt% (1-4 kg/t); finer 0.2-0.7 mm grades suit in-stream and late inoculation, while 1-3 mm serves ladle dosing. Every lot ships with COA and MTC. Multi-regional sourcing supports CIF Marmara delivery and Gebze bonded stock, 20 MT FCL or 5 MT LCL. Send grade and quantity for an RFQ.

Domande frequenti

When should I choose a Zr-bearing FeSi inoculant over standard FeSiBa or Ca-only grades?
Pick the FeSiZr grade (Si 73-78%, Zr 1-3%) when you need stronger, longer-lived nucleation than barium or calcium ferrosilicon delivers. Zirconium forms stable ZrO/ZrN nuclei that resist fade and curb chill in thin sections, so it suits ductile iron and section-sensitive grey iron. For routine, short hold-time grey iron, a standard FeSiBa often suffices and costs less per kilo.
What addition rate and method should I use for FeSiZr inoculation?
Typical ladle additions run 0.1-0.3 wt% of metal poured, tuned to base treatment, section size, and pour delay. Use the 0.2-0.7mm fraction for stream and in-ladle inoculation, and the 1-3mm fraction for in-mould or late filter/insert dosing. Late, fine-particle additions maximize nuclei count and minimize fade. Run a chill-wedge or microstructure check, then adjust rate in 0.05 wt% steps.
How is FeSiZr packaged, and what are lead time and MOQ?
The inoculant ships in moisture-resistant sealed bags on shrink-wrapped pallets, with the 0.2-0.7mm and 1-3mm sizings packed separately so you can stage stream versus in-mould use. Delivery terms include CIF Marmara and Gebze bonded stock for faster pulls. Container loads move as 20 MT FCL, with 5 MT LCL available for smaller trials. Share your target sizing split and grade and we will confirm current lead time and minimum order against the call-off.
What quality documentation and testing come with each lot?
Each lot ships with a COA / MTC reporting Si, Zr, Ca, Al, and Mn against the grade band, plus sizing distribution for the requested fraction. Chemistry is determined by standard spectrometric/wet methods and sieve analysis confirms particle size. Multi-regional sourcing is screened to one specification, so the certified chemistry and sizing stay consistent lot to lot. Retained samples support any third-party recheck on receipt.
What can I substitute if FeSiZr is not the right fit?
For routine grey iron with short pour delays, standard FeSiBa or FeSiSr inoculants are common, lower-cost alternatives. Where you mainly fight fade or thin-section chill, Sr- or rare-earth-bearing FeSi grades compete with the Zr route. Higher-Ca FeSi suits clean, low-sulphur bases. Substitution depends on base metal sulphur, section thickness, and hold time, so validate any swap with a chill-wedge and microstructure trial before changing production.
