Low-sulfur GPC recarburizer for ductile iron

For ductile iron, Jiushun GPC grades ZW01–ZW04 list sulfur ≤0.05% and nitrogen 100 ppm (ZW01), 200 ppm (ZW02/ZW03) or 300 ppm (ZW04). Buyers who need a stricter nitrogen ceiling should write it on the purchase order before production.

Common particle size in overseas enquiries: 1–5 mm. Other listed sizes remain available on the order.

Procurement questions

Why do ductile iron buyers care about sulfur and nitrogen?
Sulfur from the recarburizer adds to the melt sulfur balance; nitrogen sensitivity varies by process. Jiushun publishes S ≤0.05% on all ZW grades and N 100–300 ppm by grade so you can lock ceilings on the PO.
What nitrogen figures are on the sheet?
On the Jiushun factory sheet, nitrogen is listed as 100 ppm (ZW01), 200 ppm (ZW02 and ZW03), and 300 ppm (ZW04). Buyers specifying ductile iron often request a nitrogen ceiling in writing before shipment.
How should I enquire for ductile iron?
Use the contact form, fill grade or “Not sure — advise”, particle size, quantity, and the optional nitrogen ceiling field. We reply the next business day (UTC+8).
