Product Overview: The Foundation of Quality Alloys
Our Pure Iron Ingots are the ideal primary feedstock for foundries and steel mills demanding a clean, predictable, and low-impurity base to produce high-quality alloy steels, ductile iron, and specialty metals. By starting with our consistent ingots, you eliminate variability and achieve tighter control over your final product's chemistry and properties.
Core Composition & Advantages
|
Element |
Specification |
Benefit for Your Melt |
|
Iron (Fe) |
≥ 99.8% |
Provides a pure and predictable base, reducing unwanted element interactions. |
|
Carbon (C) |
0.02% - 0.06% |
Allows for precise carbon adjustment to your target grade. |
|
Sulfur (S) |
≤ 0.008% |
Critical: Drastically reduces slag formation and prevents hot cracking in the final product. |
|
Phosphorus (P) |
≤ 0.015% |
Maintains impact toughness and ductility in castings and alloys. |
|
Oxygen (O) |
≤ 60 ppm |
Minimizes oxide inclusions, leading to cleaner, stronger metal. |
|
Manganese (Mn) |
≤ 0.03% |
Prevents interference with deliberate alloying elements. |
|
Silicon (Si) |
≤ 0.02% |
Keeps the melt neutral, allowing you to add exact amounts for deoxidation. |
Key Advantage: Our tight control over Sulfur and Phosphorus means you use less additives (like Ferro-Manganese for desulfurization), saving cost and resulting in a cleaner, higher-yield melt.
Product Forms & Packaging
Ingot Weight: 5kg, 15kg, 25kg (Standard), up to 500kg "jumbo" ingots. Custom weights available.
Packaging: Stacked on wooden pallets, secured with steel bands. Standard anti-rust treatment included. VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) packaging optional for long-term storage or humid transit.
Q: Why is low Sulfur (S) content so important in a melting stock?
A: High sulfur leads to excessive slag, promotes brittleness (hot shortness), and can cause porosity in castings. Low S (<0.008%) means less desulfurization is needed, saving you time, cost, and resulting in a cleaner, higher-quality final product.
Q: Can I get a trial order before committing to a large shipment?
A: Yes. We encourage trial melts. We offer sample packs of our ingotsso you can test them in your facility and verify the performance and quality gains.
