Foundries use these fluxes during the melting of heavily oxidized foundry returns and machining chips, as well as when metal holding temperature exceeds the 1420-1450F range.
Using these blocks allows a greater proportion of foundry returns to be melted, permits control of final silicon to lower levels, reduces sulfur and increases residual magnesium without affecting the silicon, and serves as an alternative to nickel-containing nodularizers.
