Production and use of modifiers for cast iron and steel are analyzed. Compositions of standard industrial modifiers are considered with evaluation of trends in their development. It is shown that a promising area for creating a new generation of fundamentally different types of modifier is nanomodification of molten iron-carbon alloys.
