Advanced metal treatment for non ferrous and ferrous alloys

Improve foundry performance with superior melt treatment

Melt treatment is a critical step in ensuring high quality castings in foundries. Achieving optimum melt characteristics requires control of the metal's composition, temperature, purity and hydrogen content. Advanced grain refining and modification processes further enhance the quality of the melt.

Economic and environmental considerations

In today's marketplace, the economics of foundries have become increasingly important. High raw material and energy costs require strategies to minimise metal content in dross. In addition, the life of refractory or crucible materials in contact with fluxes is a key consideration. Our chemical product development is focused on addressing these challenges and providing solutions that improve both economic and environmental performance.

Non ferrous metal treatment

Foseco flux products for aluminium melt treatment, designed to minimise metal loss and reduce toxic emissions across various casting processes and furnace types.

Products for chemical melt treatment of aluminium alloys

Minimising metal loss is paramount in aluminium foundries. Our range of fluxes is designed to reduce environmental emissions, particularly toxic emissions, thereby promoting a cleaner production process. Given the variety of castings and furnace technologies, we offer a wide range of fluxes to meet different needs.

Foseco FDU rotary degassing equipment, an automated system for environmentally-friendly degassing and cleaning of aluminium and copper alloys. The impeller principle with a patented rotor creates fine gas bubbles for efficient melt treatment and reduced processing times.

Equipment and consumables for non ferrous melt treatment

We are committed to improving the efficiency of melt treatment through the continuous development of innovative equipment and services. Our solutions deliver metallurgical, environmental, health and safety and economic benefits to ensure foundries operate at peak efficiency.

Ferrous metal treatment

The image illustrates Foseco's metal stream inoculation (MSI) system in action, dispensing INOCULIN inoculant into molten iron. This process is crucial for controlling the solidification of cast iron, influencing the formation of graphite structures and improving the mechanical properties of the final casting.

Metal treatment products for ferrous alloys

In order to achieve the desired mechanical properties in iron castings, the liquid iron must have the correct composition and it must also contain suitable nuclei to induce the correct graphite structure to form on solidification.

The FERROLAB system is provided free of charge to Foseco customers that buy our inoculants, nodularisers and sampling cups. And we work together with them to ensure that they can consistently produce the highest quality iron possible.

Equipment for ferrous metal treatment

Foseco is continually developing new and improved equipment and services to boost metal treatment efficiency and effectiveness and provide foundries with metallurgical, environmental, health and safety and economical benefits.
