Abstract
A melt dispersible, floatable, solid additive for molten metal comprises an elongated body of the additive with a band or bands of a thermal barrier providing material therearound which is preferably heat decomposable and gas evolving at the temperature of the molten metal. When the additive is dropped or released and urged forcibly into the molten metal the formation of a solid casing of the molten metal on the body at the position of the band or bands is retarded so that melted additive is released at the position of the band or bands and the body separates into discrete parts thereby rapidly releasing the additive into the molten metal.
