Foundry Corporate News - Unsichtbar

Elkem Foundry continues to support iron foundries worldwide with a combination of precise alloy formulations and hands-on technical expertise designed to optimise cast iron production. High-quality foundry alloys are a vital part of defect-free and cost-effective casting, enabling foundries to tightly control composition and microstructure during the melting and solidification process.

Elkem’s portfolio of iron foundry alloys spans a range of specialist products, including recarburizers to adjust carbon levels, preconditioners to stabilise nucleation potential, conditioners to facilitate slag handling, nodularizers for ductile iron production and ferrosilicon-based inoculants for promoting uniform graphite formation. These precision-formulated alloys help foundries maintain consistency, enhance mechanical properties and reduce defect rates across a variety of iron grades.

In addition to material supply, Elkem’s on-site technical specialists collaborate directly with production teams, combining metallurgical insight and process data to address complex casting challenges—from shrinkage and surface defects to scrap reduction and reproducibility improvements.

This integrated approach positions Elkem as a technical partner that goes beyond product delivery to support practical optimisation of foundry processes and outcomes.
