Ductile Iron Pig Carbon Additives

Ductile Iron Pig Carbon Additives

In the steel and casting industries, the economic efficiency of materials and their ability to provide cost advantages play a key role; therefore, the selection of carbon additives is directly influenced by these factors. The key expectations from a high-quality carbon additive include:

• High carbon yield
• Cost efficiency
• Reduced slag formation
• Ease of processing
• High dissolution rate, resulting in lower energy consumption and time savings due to shorter intervals between casts
• Extended furnace lining life, improved overall economy, and reduced maintenance costs

Areas of Use:

• Used in the steel and casting industries
• Used in the processing of iron and alloys
• Steelmaking
• Control of nuclear reactions
• Rubber coloring
• Plastics industry
• Production of paint pigments
• Dehydration of liquid oils
