INOCULATION PROCESS AND DEVICE

摘要

The present invention describes a procedure for inoculating a nucleating additive into an alloy of molten iron in a casting distributor by means of the employment of a transferred arc plasma torch having an anode partially submerged in the alloy of molten iron and a cathode located on the surface of said alloy, the anode, or the cathode, or both, comprising graphite, preferably synthetic crystalline graphite, providing the alloy of iron with said nucleating additive. Furthermore the invention describes an inoculation device to realise the inoculation procedure.
