FeSiMg and NiMg Magnesium treatment is a required step within the production of ductile (DI) iron and compacted (CGI) iron. The primary purpose of introducing magnesium to the molten metal is the formation of spherical graphite, also called spheroids or nodules (DI) and compacted graphite (CGI) respectively. These graphite forms, when produced correctly, are essential to provide the iron with the desired mechanical properties. Your benefits Produced to the highest quality standards Critical elements maintained at narrow limits

INFORM M cored wires are a highly effective and reliable method for introducing magnesium to molten metal. These highly innovative wires are designed in multiple diameters. They are extremely easy to handle and ideal for automated processes. ASK Chemicals INFORM M cored wires are guaranteed to have been produced to the highest quality. Your benefits Well-adjusted compositions to your specific foundry needs Small addition and exact dosing Simple handling, easy to automate Good traceability and documentation Mg cored wire treatment for DI and CGI This offers flexibility with regard to changing initial conditions such as the sulfur content, treatment temperature, and iron quantity. Additionally, relatively constant Mg values can be achieved despite different initial sulfur values and treatment temperatures. Lastly, handling and treatment costs can be reduced. Environmentally friendly because of targeted exhausting.

ASK Chemicals Metallurgy offers a wide variety of engineered inoculants for gray (GI), ductile (DI) and compacted graphite (CGI) iron. Each inoculant is unique in design to provide performance characteristics that satisfy today’s demanding casting requirements. These inoculants are produced at our German facility under strict quality control. Your benefits Very good dissolution behavior High effectiveness and low consumption Uniform graphite precipitation Improvement of mechanical properties

GERMALLOY and SMW Insert are solid cast inserts used for the mold inoculation of ductile iron. They are either placed in the drag portion of the mold or anchored in the pouring basin of very large castings. GERMALLOY is widely used to improve the nodule count of graphite within a casting, as well as enhance its mechanical properties. SMW Insert inoculants, on the other hand, are well known for their ability to eliminate the formation of chunky graphite in heavy section ductile iron. OPTIGRAN is the mold inoculant for gray iron. It provides finer Type “A” graphite in gray iron.

The cold box process is a high-performance, highly productive core manufacturing method that is used in large series production of cast parts in particular and features high process reliability and productivity. The defining feature of the cold box process is its high reactivity, which makes short production cycles possible for core production. ASK Chemicals has not only succeeded in further developing the process in terms of productivity but also with regard to humans and the environment.  Our cold box systems offer you the following advantages:  The advantages for the environment and your staff Reduced odor in core production and casting. Low emissions of BTX gases. Low monomer content. Low-odor, nonhazardous solvents. The advantage of increased productivity Faster cycle times thanks to high reactivity. Higher tool availability thanks to lower contamination from condensate and a lower tendency for adhesion. Time saving since cleaning the core box requires less work. Long sand bench life thanks to high strength. The advantage of increased quality Fewer casting defects thanks to process-optimized binders. High dimensional consistency of the core during production and while the coating is drying thanks to high strength. High dimensional consistency during casting thanks to high deformation stability. High core quality and stability thanks to high process reliability and high strengths. The advantage of cost reduction Reduced binder consumption thanks to higher efficiency High tool availability thanks to lower contamination from condensate and a lower tendency for adhesion Fewer cores are rejected thanks to higher stability Reduced catalyst consumption thanks to high reactivity
