ASI International, Ltd is celebrating its twenty-fifth year of supplying melting consumables to the foundry industry. During this time, ASI has established a reputation for quality and service. The company started in 1983 when the business was originally a marketing unit of a large multinational chemical company that produced binders for the foundry industry.

ASI has longstanding affiliations with major producers of metals and alloys as well as large international trading companies and ferroalloy producers. ASI manufactures proprietary EF40L electric furnace fluxes that are used worldwide to eliminate slag buildup, improve refractory life and furnace efficiency in coreless, channel and pressure pour furnaces. ASI’s newly developed EF40LP keeps pouring ladles clean and improves metal cleanliness. ASI also manufactures specialty high performance inoculants, inoculant enhancing additives, low silicon nodularizers, in-mold inoculant inserts, specialty deoxidizers, ferroaluminum, aluminum and copper fluxes and hot topping agents.

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

Value – ASI has on staff three degreed metallurgists with over 80 years of experience in melting, furnace and refractory troubleshooting, and casting defect analysis. We can provide expert advice on selection and/or substitution of alloys to reduce melting costs. Our new line of electric furnace, pressure pour and ladle fluxes continue to solve difficult slag build up problems without harming refractories.

ASI is a leader in developing new cost savings technology for the foundry industry. Since 2001, ASI has been awarded three U.S. Patents and presently has two patents pending. Patents have been awarded for Sphere-o-Dox (U.S. Patent 6,293,988B1) gray and ductile iron high performance inoculants, Inocu-Bloc inmold inoculating systems, Resulf 30 (U.S. Patent 6,733,565 B1) briquettes that are used for both resulfurizing and for the production of compacted graphite Irons to become a "simpler and more forgiving process", Resulf IEP (U.S. Patent 6,866,696 B1), an inoculant enhancing additive, especially well suited for "dead" or "hard to inoculate" irons, that, when added with any inoculant, dramatically improves overall inoculation performance. Other manufactured products include Nodu-Bloc low silicon nodularizers that can reduce ductile iron production costs by up to $10.00 per ton. ASI’s new electric furnace fluxes can double refractory life. EF40LP ladle and pressure pour fluxes keep ladles clean, and reduce inductor slag build up in pressure pour furnaces. ASI also manufactures ferroaluminum briquettes and specialty steel deoxidizers.

Service – Technical Assistance - ASI can provide unparalleled metallurgical and refractory technical assistance. Our trained staff has a wealth of experience ranging from cupola melting, elimination of casting defects and solutions to refractory problems. ASI also has complete metallurgical laboratory facilities at its Cleveland headquarters. Technical credentials include over 40 technical papers published by the staff, four best paper awards, four Silver Anniversary Paper awards, one AFS Service Citation, one Scientific Merit Award and one Joseph Seaman Gold Medal. ASI also offers a fee-paid technical consultation service for melting and refractory problems.
