Farewell chunky graphite thanks to SMW inserts™
Written by pr Wednesday, 15 May 2013 08:06
The production of high-stress cast parts made from cast iron with nodular graphite is a particular challenge for foundries, as high demands, amongst other things, are made on the inoculation technique used and the inoculants. The use of pure charge materials in the burden is essential for successful cast part production. The pig iron used, the scrap steel or returns may not contain any disruptive impurities. The following are thus an important prerequisite for preventing graphite degeneration, such as chunky graphite: Check for harmful trace elements in the base materials, magnesium treatment agents and inoculants and coordinate with regard to the chemical compositions.
Ruuki's high strength and wear-resistant special steels now in Tubes and Hollow section form

Ruukki's special steels have been bringing benefits to equipment manufacturers for years already in plate and strip form. Now Ruukki has developed both special steels for applications where either tubes or hollow sections are required. Raex wear-resistant steel enables a longer lifetime for wearing parts. Optim high-strength steel brings fuel savings through lighter vehicle structures.
Siemens to modernize copper rod mill in France
