Sorelmetal®, a high purity pig iron produced by Rio Tinto and also known in the iron casting industry as “Quebec pig iron,” has stable components thanks to a signature production method, making it a superior raw material for ductile cast iron. This is quality pig iron that is highly pure, available in a steady supply, and contains minimal Mn. Its bonus effects include reduced power consumption for melting, chill prevention and improved shrinkage thanks to promoting graphitization of molten metal, improved casting yield, and prevention of defects. We are the designated Japanese vendor that supplies Sorelmetal® to customers in Japan.
We also offer other materials for melting processes.
| Product | Explanation |
|---|---|
| SCG, SCG-S, SCG-H | Enables simultaneous siliconization and carburization as a partial substitute for FeSi, a recarburizer for molten raw materials, and is cost effective. This silicon carbide can also improve molten metal characteristics. |
| Siliket | Not only siliconizes but also has a higher deoxidation effect than common FeSi and siliconizes quickly. |
| GPC Recarburizer | Quality recarburizer manufactured using raw material derived from petroleum coke with minimum impurities such as S and N. Available in a steady supply. |
| SUPER CARBON | Additive developed to enable quick final carbon adjustments in induction furnaces, provide a stable yield, and achieve extremely good mixing. |
We offer a selection of covering agents to enable stable processing of spheroidal graphite casting manufacturing via the sandwiching technique and to produce high-quality cast products tailored to various applications and requirements.
| Product | Explanation |
|---|---|
| INOBEST-50B | Combination of a standard covering agent and inoculant with an optimal balance of Ca, Ba, and Al to achieve similar effects as normal inoculant. |
| S50 | Delivers both covering and inoculant effects and contributes to preventing chill and improving Mg yield. |
| INO COVER | Possesses specific gravity that is important for a covering agent and an optimal Si content for extremely stable spheroidization processes. |
| INO COVER EVO | Combination of a covering agent and inoculant based on INO COVER with an optimal balance of Ca, Ba, and Al. Improves Mg yield and graphitization responsiveness. |
| Covering | Reaction conditioning agent that stabilizes Mg yield and prevents molten metal temperature drop. Covering agent use does not increase the Si value. |
At OTG, we offer a variety of pure metals for adjusting components and controlling attributes in the casting process. They help control graphite shapes, improve solidification characteristics, and generally improve the quality of cast products.
| Product | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Cu Nuggets (copper) | Copper functions as a powerful pearlite stabilizer. It is also used to enhance the abrasion and shock resistance of cast products and carburetor properties, such as toughness. |
| Tin Shot (Tin, Sn) | Tin is used to promote pearlitization. |
| HIPARA Shot (antimony, Sb) | Antimony suppresses the formation of ferrite in gray cast iron, stabilizing the pearlite matrix and improving strength and hardness. |
| Nickel (Ni) | Nickel is an effective material for alloy design aiming for improved thermal resistance and strength. |
