 Inco F Nickel Shot is
a finely divided, low melting form of unwrought nickel that is especially
useful as a ladle addition in gray iron foundries.
The silicon, iron and carbon present in Inco F Shot depress its melting
point to about 2300°F (1260°C), as compared to 2640°F (1450°C) for pure
nickel. This assures rapid solution at the lower temperatures of molten
iron.
Inco F Nickel Shot
is sized through a 0.25 in. (6.4 mm) screen opening and is retained
on a 30 mesh screen. This size range further enhances rapid solution
while it also facilitates convenient additions.
It may also be used as charge material in batch melting.
A nickel addition to cast iron increases strength uniformly in both
light and heavy sections of the castings, over a wide range of base iron
compositions.
