Vaxon® inoculant is a good general-purpose material suited to ladle and in-stream applications. This inoculant provides an effective chill reduction in many gray-iron applications. In addition, because it is a 50% silicon product, Vaxon® inoculant saves gray-iron inoculation costs when it replaces foundry—grade 75% ferrosilicon on an equal weight basis. Similar savings are possible when this alloy replaces 75% ferrosilicon as a post inoculant in ductile iron.
