Improve casting quality! 5 methods to treat molten iron before furnace!
Introduction: In the family of casting alloys, the development of various casting alloys depends on the development of their advantages and the suppression of their disadvantages. Compared with cast steel and non-ferrous alloys, cast iron has better casting performance. Therefore, the utilization rate of molten iron is high

Why is there a variation in material properties among castings from the same mold?
Many enterprises use the wire-feeding method for nodularization when producing ductile iron pipe fittings on vertical flaskless molding lines. However, sometimes the lower castings in the same mold turn out to be gray iron, while the upper ones remain ductile iron. What could be the reason? This article will answer all your

Petroleum Coke Price Monthly Analysis 2025.6
In June 2025, petroleum coke price showed mixed movements as market participants responded to changes in production levels, import volumes and downstream demand. This report outlines the main factors that affected pricing during the month, including supply availability and buying activity. What’s more, it provides a

The Role of Silicon-Calcium Alloy in Steelmaking
IntroductionSilicon-calcium (Si-Ca) alloy is a critical additive in modern metallurgy, particularly in steelmaking and iron processing. Composed primarily of silicon and calcium, this alloy serves as a powerful deoxidizer, desulfurizer, and inoculant, significantly improving the quality and mechanical properties of steel. T

The usage method of calcium silicon cored wire
There are many types of cored wires. When calcium-silicon powder is rolled into a cored wire, it is called a calcium-silicon cored wire, also known as a calcium-silicon wire. It serves as an additive in steel production, beneficial for adjusting and controlling the content of easily oxidizable elements and trace elements. I

Petroleum Coke Price Monthly Analysis 2025.5
In May 2025, petroleum coke price remained under pressure as modest domestic supply shifts and steady imports outpaced cautious, essential, only purchasing by downstream industries. Despite isolated refinery maintenance support, ample inventories and subdued demand kept price movements muted acro

Impact of Key Technical Indicators and Performance Parameters of Cored Wire on Casting Quality
Advantages and Disadvantages of Core Material Preparation Methods for Cored Wire The so-called wire-feeding spheroidization (vermicularization or inoculation) refers to the process of wrapping core materials of specific composition and particle size into steel strips of certain thickness and width using a wire-coiling devic

The Application of Aluminum Wire in the Steel Market: A Professional Perspective
IntroductionThe steel industry continuously evolves with advancements in material science and manufacturing technologies. Among these innovations, the use of “aluminum wire” (or aluminum cored wire) has gained prominence due to its significant role in improving steel quality, enhancing production efficiency, and

Comparison and Application Recommendations of Pure Calcium Cored Wire vs. Calcium-Iron Cored Wire
IntroductionCored wire technology is widely used in steelmaking for precise alloy addition, inclusion modification, and desulfurization. Two common types are “pure calcium cored wire” and “calcium-iron (CaFe) cored wire”, each with distinct advantages depending on the steelmaking process. This article compares their propert
