What Are High Purity Fe-99.9% Iron Castings?

High Purity Fe-99.9% Iron Castings are specialized components made from pure iron with a minimum purity of 99.9%, achieved through rigorous refining processes. These castings are engineered to deliver:

- Exceptional Soft Magnetic Properties: High permeability (>5,000 µH/m) and low coercivity (<80 A/m).

- Minimal Impurities: Carbon <0.005%, Sulfur <0.002%, Phosphorus <0.003%.

-Superior Mechanical Stability: Tensile strength up to 220 MPa, ideal for high-stress environments.

Such castings are indispensable in industries where precision, efficiency, and magnetic performance are non-negotiable.

The SLH Pure Iron Advantage: How We Achieve Fe-99.9% Purity

Our manufacturing process integrates cutting-edge metallurgy and quality control systems to ensure unmatched purity and consistency:

1. Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM)

- Melts raw iron under a vacuum (10⁻³ Pa) to eliminate gaseous impurities (O₂, N₂, H₂).

- Precise temperature control (±5°C) prevents contamination from crucible materials.

2. Electro-Slag Remelting (ESR)

- Further refines the iron by removing non-metallic inclusions (e.g., oxides, sulfides).

- Reduces sulfur content to <0.001%, enhancing magnetic uniformity.

3. Precision Casting Techniques

- Sand Casting: For complex geometries up to 5-ton castings.

- Investment Casting: Delivers surface finishes of Ra <3.2 µm for critical components.

4. Post-Casting Treatments

- Annealing: Hydrogen atmosphere annealing at 1,100°C to relieve stress and optimize grain structure.

- Surface Coating: Optional zinc-phosphate or nickel plating for corrosion resistance.

Applications of High Purity Iron Castings

1. Renewable Energy Systems

-Wind Turbine Generators: Reduce eddy current losses by 18% compared to standard cast iron.

- Solar Inverters: Enable 98.5% energy conversion efficiency.
