Silicon Zirconium Inoculant Description
Silicon Zirconium Inoculant (SiZr) is another specialized additive used in the casting industry, particularly for treating cast iron. Like other inoculants, its purpose is to modify the microstructure of the iron during solidification to improve the final properties of the casting. The specific combination of silicon (Si) and zirconium (Zr) in these inoculants offers unique benefits to the cast iron.
