Calcium cored wire and solid calcium cored wire. If you listen to these words for cored wire at the first time, maybe you will feel confused and think these types of cored wire are the same. Actually, you are wrong. These types are different absolutely. Thus, what are differences between these products on earth? Reading this article continuously.
Calcium Metal Used in the Steel Industry
Generally speaking, calcium metal is a deoxidizer and can be fed into molten steel to remove oxides usually during steel making. It can adjust composition of steel and make it more uniform.
There are some different types of calcium cored wire below.
Pure Calcium Wire
Specification
| Ca | Mg | Al | Diameter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 98.5% min | 0.8% max | 0.8% max | 9 / 13mm |
Calcium Cored Wire
Calcium cored wire is also called pure calcium cored wire, alloy powder is calcium. While, it is not ordinary calcium, it is calcium by preprocessing. Concretely speaking, calcium metal crushes into powder for a certain size (0-3mm usually), then, wraps it into steel strip. Thereby, calcium cored wire finished.
Solid Calcium Cored Wire
We, JINLI GROUP supplies solid calcium cored wire and other types cored wire. We have a professional team to provide you with excellent service.
Specification
| Ca | Mg | Al | Diameter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 98.5% min | 0.8% max | 0.8% max | 9 / 11mm |
Advantages
Enhanced Calcium Element Yield: Utilizing solid calcium cored wire results in a notable increase in calcium element yield, particularly evident in low-carbon low-silicon steel like SPHC, where the average yield rate surpasses 13%.
Substantial Cost Reduction: The consumption of solid calcium cored wire per ton of production is markedly lower, approximately 35% of that required by calcium silicon cored wire, leading to significant cost savings.
Facilitates Production of High-Quality Steel: Solid calcium cored wire contributes to the production of purer steel, enhancing overall quality.
Mitigates Nozzle Clogging: By reducing and even eliminating nozzle clogging during continuous casting of steel, solid calcium cored wire ensures smoother production processes.
