Abstract
The abilities and fading behaviors of 5 different inoculants were evaluated by the thermal analyses of the melts which were held at constant temperature after addition in induction furnace. The silicon content was preserved at the high holding temperature of 1,450${\sim}$1,500$^{\circ}C$, which reduced by oxidation at the low one. The inoculation temperature should be higher to obtain better and reproducible result. The inoculation performance of 1%Ba-Fe-Si was the best on the bases of effect and fading behavior.
