Inoculation alloys for treating cast iron castings containing, by weight, 0.005% to 3% of an element selected from the group consisting of bismuth, lead and antimony, 0.3 to 10% of metals of the rare-earth group and optionally aluminum up to 5%, and calcium up to 1.5%, the remainder being ferro-silicon, lanthanum constituting more than 90% of the rare-earth metals contained in the composition. The inventive alloys enable efficient inoculation of cast iron and avoid occurrence of micro-shrinkage cracking in the cast parts. The alloys are conditioned in the form of slugs or powder.
