IRON FOUNDRY OVERVIEW
With the increasing demand of the automotive and machine industry, foundries have been serving a highly demanding market concerning the mechanical properties of cast iron. Stronger and harder products are required to extend the life of components.
TECNOSULFUR SOLUTION
To serve the primary cast iron refining process, Tecnosulfur offers a complete line of desulfurization agents for application in the melting processes performed in cupola furnaces. They are manufactured on a customized basis to operate per the requirements of each step. The products consist of calcium oxide, calcium carbide, calcium fluoride, and others.
In addition to its recognized quality, Tecnosulfur provides its clients with enhanced products that comprehend a precise technical diagnosis, follow-up of the application by specialized technicians, and after-sale services that ensure customer satisfaction.
TECNOSULFUR ADVANTAGES
The primary purpose of the Tecnosulfur line of desulfurization agents is to remove sulfur from metal, resulting in fine steel. Applied through the Gasal system, they consist of the desulfurization agent in coinciding streams of metal/slags in a siphon ladle with stirring by inert gas. Advantages include lower specific consumption, high rates of desulfurization, high treatment speed, and low cost per treated ton.
OUTCOMES
- Removal of sulfur at low levels allowing for the manufacture of finer irons
- Desulfurization rates over 90 percent
- The cast iron is treated with a low specific consumption of agents, ensuring more cost-effectiveness that enables the use of lower-quality raw materials in the Cupola Furnace
- Tailor-made treatment time for each process
