Foundry Pig Iron per GOST

Details:

UKREXPORT has direct access to producers of Foundry (Casting) Iron in Ukraine and across Mediterranean and Oriental countries. Foundry (Casting) Iron differs from conventional Pig Iron by application purposes. Whereas Pig Iron is virtually semi-finished Steel, the mentioned Foundry Iron is only furnace charge material often comprising of different casting irons for the purpose of attaining highly fluid, fillable and soft FeSi alloy perfect for casting into complicated moulds. Fewer factories produce Foundry (Casting) Iron compared with conventional Pig Iron, especially when extra low Sulphur and Phosphorous are required. Placement of factory order takes longer coordination with factory schedule and full 100% prepayment applies to allocate this material:

Foundry Iron, L1-L6: Carbon 3.4-4.4%, Silicon 1.2-3.6%
========================================
Manganese < 0.3% to 0.9-1.5%
Phosphorous 0.08% to 0.7-1.2%
Sulphur 0.02% to 0.05%

Foundry Iron, Refined LP1-LE7: Carbon 3.4-4.5%, Silicon 0.8-3.6%
================================================
Manganese < 0.3% to 0.5-0.1%
Phosphorous 0.08% to 0.12%
Sulphur 0.005% to 0.010%

Optimally, minimal order quantity is 2,500mt despite 1,000mt being minimal capacity of a single blast furnace where primary Iron Ore, Coke & Catalysts for requested Foundry Pig Iron grade are to be smelted. Please note: Any original production of Pig Iron at that or other factory is not open public process. Inquiry for particular production/offer/price has to show authentic information: 1) who (what company) is buyer/importer/consignee; 2) where (what bank) his payment is to come from: 3) how (in copies of docs) he bought/imported/consumed Pig Iron last time, to prove 1) and 2).
