 Incocal Alloy
10 is a nickel-calcium alloy with 4.5 to 6.5 percent
calcium produced in the form of pieces weighing about 3 lbs. (1.4 kg).
Incocal Alloy 10 facilitates the addition of calcium to molten baths
during the production of low alloy steels, stainless and heat resisting
alloys, and nickel-base alloys. Calcium can be introduced safely and
efficiently by means of this foundry additive product in both cast and
wrought alloys.
Incocal 10 has a density of 7.3 to 7.6 g/cc which is greater than that
of liquid cast iron. (The theoretical density is 7.6 g/cc.) This allows
for a clean, consistent calcium addition to molten iron and steel under
controlled conditions.
Calcium is not only a scavenger for deleterious elements but, when present
as a residual, it can improve ambient and high temperature properties
of both ferrous- and nickel-base alloys.
Incocal 10 permits a safe, final addition of calcium to achieve improvement
in mechanical and physical properties without sacrificing cleanliness
of the product.
The advantages to be gained by adding calcium to a wide variety of cast
and wrought alloys include:
| • |
Efficient deoxidation and desulfurization to consistent low
levels
|
| • |
Sulfide shape control; improved hot workability in high alloy
steels
|
| • |
Improved ingot surface quality for reduced billet grinding
|
| • |
Improved mechanical properties and machinability for low alloy
steels
|
| • |
Increased consistency in resistance wire alloys
