VISUALIZING CHEMICAL EXCELLENCE vvith VViRES
How CORED WIRES beat the traditional methods?
In ladle addition of Calcium silicide lumps, the recovery of Ca is very low. Due to the lower density (2.5 gm/cc) of CaSi lumps, they float at the surface of the melt and are lost in oxidation and slag. Usually, the recovery of Ca is less than 10%. In contrast, the cored wire injection system achieves a recovery of calcium between 15-30% with precise control of composition. In CaSi cored wire, CaSi is encapsulated in a steel sheath, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the steel melt when injected.
