Cored Wire in Ladle Treatment: A Practical Guide
Cored wire puts reactive elements exactly where you want them, deep in the ladle. It is the difference between a controlled treatment and an expensive cloud of fume.
EXCELLENCE INPractical writing on ferro alloys and steelmaking — grade selection, deoxidation practice, ladle treatment, foundry inoculation and what belongs on a purchase order. Written by the people who make and ship the material.
