Understanding Ductile Iron Spheroidization
Ductile iron (S.G. Iron) requires precision magnesium addition to convert graphite flakes into spheroidal nodules. Kenit Metallurgy, founded by Gaurav Vij and named after his son Kenit Vij, manufactures specialized FeSiMg alloys containing 5.5% to 9.0% Magnesium along with balanced Calcium and Rare Earth elements.
Key Advantages of Kenit FeSiMg
- Predictable Recovery: Stable magnesium recovery with minimal violent flare or excess slag.
- High Nodule Count: Improves tensile elongation, impact toughness, and machinability of castings.
- Carbide Suppression: Prevents edge chill even in thin-section castings.
