Calcium Metal Uses
Calcium metal or we can say Ca metal, it has many different uses. These are as below:
Calcium treatment agent: It is the common use for calcium metal. Impurities such as oxides, sulfides and others can be eliminated when a proper amount of calcium metal is added in the furnace. In order to purify the molten steel better;
Ca metal can be also used as modifier to enhance mechanical properties in the steelmaking process. It has chemical reaction between calcium metal and silicon, aluminium or other elements to generate carbides and silicides. Thereby, it improves the strength and toughness of steel;
Deoxidizer is one of common uses for calcium metal. Calcium can react with oxygen or impurities to generate CaO or other oxides when it is added to molten steel, so as to improve deoxidation effect in the steel;
Besides these applications, it also has another use, that is alloy additives, it improves and regulates the chemical composition of steel. Adding calcium metal to the steel appropriately, it can adjust silicon content, temperature and consummate the hardness.
According to the applications for calcium metal we mentioned above, some properties such as purity, deoxidation effect and so on can be consummated effectively to meet the standard of steel. It plays a paramount role in the realm of steelmaking.
