Mold Inoculation

With Germalloy® & Optigran®
Solid Cast Inoculant Inserts


Advanced inoculation techniques can improve to a considerable degree the properties of both gray and ductile iron.  With our solid cast inoculant inserts, "Germalloy®" and "Optigran®", we can offer an efficient and flexible method leading to excellent inoculation results by placing the solid cast inoculant inserts within the runner system or in the mold's pouring basin.

Millions of tons of premium Ductile and Gray Iron castings have been produced using GERMALLOY® and OPTIGRAN® solid cast inoculant inserts around the world for the past 25 years

A non-fading, highly effective, controlled inoculation consistent from mold to mold is the economic answer!

Solid Cast Inserts for pouring times from 6 seconds to 170 seconds.

Our
solid cast inserts have a very low oxygen content (oxides)
because of the dramatic difference in total surface area compared with pressed inserts made of finely sized alloy particles.

The Germalloy Inoculation Effect

Optigran solid cast inserts formulated for gray iron mold inoculation, provide excellent control of chill and carbides, a considerable increase of tensile strength, with a constant high eutectic cell count, and a strong promotion of Type "A" graphite
