Samarth Magna Group · Since 1998
We make the consumables that win it.
Magna Ferrochem makes the additives, sleeves, filters and inoculants that decide a casting's surface, feeding and microstructure — and proves every product in the group's own three foundries before it reaches yours.

01 — The Process
Five gates decide every casting. On the left, a mould running without Magna consumables — and the defects that follow. On the right, the same casting with them.
Stage 01 · The mould
Plain green sand fuses to hot metal — burn-on, a rough skin, hours of shot blasting and grinding. With MAGNAKOL in the mix, a lustrous carbon film forms at the metal–sand interface and the mould peels off a smooth as-cast surface.
MAGNAKOL · MAGNACARBStage 02 · The riser
A bare sand riser loses heat so fast it must be oversized — and can still freeze before the casting does. A MAGNEX sleeve burns above 1500 °C, so a smaller riser stays liquid ~2.5× longer and feeds the section fully. MAGNIN insulating sleeves cover the slower-feeding cases.
MAGNEX · MAGNINStage 03 · The pour
An open pour carries slag and oxide straight into the cavity — inclusions you discover later, under the machine tool. With MAGPOUR you pour through a ceramic foam filter: the dirt stays on the filter, only clean metal reaches the casting.
MAGPOURStage 04 · The treatment
An untreated melt solidifies as hard white iron at edges and thin walls — broken inserts, scrapped parts. MAGNASEED inoculants seed the melt with nucleation sites: chill is suppressed and machinability and properties land where the drawing says.
MAGNASEEDStage 05 · Shakeout
When the riser freezes first, the void forms inside the casting — found at machining, or worse, at the customer. With the sleeved system solidification is directional: the pipe forms in the riser, and the casting ships sound.
The Magna system, together02 — The Range
Each brand covers one gate of the process you just scrolled through — engineered, batched and tested in-house.
Lustrous carbon additive
High thermal stability for optimum lustrous carbon across the mould depth — clean peel-off and excellent surface finish at lower addition levels.
Specs & gradesExothermic sleeves
Burns above 1500 °C to extend riser solidification ~2.5×, MEF 1.4–1.8 — smaller risers, fewer shrinkage defects, higher yield.
Specs & gradesInsulating sleeves
Low-density (0.5 g/cc) sleeves, 25–500 mm in open and blind designs — chemically inert, non-contaminating, consistent wall thickness.
Specs & gradesDirect-pouring sleeves
Insulating riser body with a built-in ceramic foam filter — feed and filter in one piece, with no sprue's worth of wasted metal.
Specs & gradesInoculants
Potent Ba, Sr-75 and Ce grades for grey and SG iron — one balanced formulation for chill reduction, machinability and mechanical properties.
Specs & gradesEngineered coal blend
Tailor-made coal blends with sodium bentonite for close control over green sand properties — tuned to your sand system, not off the shelf.
Specs & grades03 — Why Magna
The Samarth Magna Group operates three foundries of its own. Nothing ships to a customer that hasn't already earned its place on our own moulding lines.
01
We pour with our own products every day. A bad batch costs us castings before it could ever cost you one.
02
ISO 9001:2015 across all units, with in-house molten metal laboratory testing behind every release.
03
Our technical team works your sand system, risering layout and inoculation practice — not just an order book.
04
Three plants and 27 years of supply discipline. Your moulding line never waits on our dispatch.
“Cost per casting falls when rework falls. Rework falls when the consumables are right. That is the whole business.”
The Magna operating principle
04 — The Group
Magna Ferrochem (est. 1998) is the consumables arm of a group that spans foundry products, resin coated sands and three casting plants — 400+ people serving ferrous foundries across western and southern India.
