ASI International is a relatively new name in the metals industry with an established reputation for quality and service.  The origin of the company started in 1983 when the business was originally a marketing unit of a large multinational chemical company which produced binders for the foundry industry.  The management and staff of ASI has largely remained unchanged during the ensuing 16 years, changing only in ownership and company name.
     ASI has longstanding affiliations with major producers of metals and alloys as well as major trading companies.  ASI manufactures specialty high performance inoculants, low silicon nodularizers and desulfuring briquettes, in-mold inoculant tablets, filter insert inoculants, ferroaluminum, iron aluminum hardeners, and a complete line of cupola and electric furnace fluxes.

Affiliations
     ASI Represents several world class producers of melting consumables.  Some of these companies include: 

•  INCO - The International Nickel Company, the world's largest nickel producer.  Products include electrolytic nickel squares, nickel pellets, nickel shot and nickel magnesium alloys.

• The Carbide/Graphite Group - Suppliers of arc furnace electrodes, heating elements, calcium carbide, carbon raisers.

• Great Lakes Carbon - The largest U.S. producer of calcined petroleum coke.

Quality
     ASI is ISO-Compliant as well as Y2K Compliant.  ASI works exclusively with producers of alloys and other melting consumables who have attained ISO 9000 certification.  Thus, you can be assured of receiving quality products.  ASI's quality inspection team inspects all incoming and outbound shipments for product uniformity.

Value
     Because ASI has on staff two degree holding metallurgists, including one with a metallurgical Ph.D., we can provide expert advice on selection and/or substitution of alloys to reduce your melting costs.
     ASI has recently developed several new products.  These include slag defect eliminating electric furnace fluxes, Sphere-0-dox S (patent pending) gray and ductile iron inoculants, Inocu-Bloc (patent pending) Inmold inoculating inserts, ceramic form filter inoculant inserts, new Nodu-Bloc low silicon nodularizers, ferroaluminum briquettes, iron aluminum additives for the primary aluminum industry.

Service
     Technical Assistance - ASI can provide unparalleled metallurgical technical assistance.  Our trained staff has a wealth of experience ranging from cupola melting to elimination of casting defects.  Technical credentials include 34 technical papers published, two best paper awards from the American Foundrymen's Society, two Silver Anniversary papers, one Scientific Merit Award, and instruction at over a dozen AFS CMI courses.
