The influence of 0.1wt% on six different inoculants in ductile iron parameters was examined. Al,Ca,Zr-FeSi was added as a pre-conditioner,In-mold inoculation was used to critically analyze these parameters as the inoculants were added to non-tellurium quick cups. The solidification behaviour and the effect of different inoculants system with the same base metal composition and their relative performance was evaluated. It was observed that thermal analysis can be use to predict a controlled processes in ductile iron casting.

Keywords: Thermal Analysis, Pre-conditioner, In-mold, Inoculant’s efficiency, Ductile iron.
