In applications of pure calcium cored wire, the sheath thickness is much smaller than conventional pure calcium wire. High-performance pure calcium wires can have sheath thicknesses of 0.6 to 1.5 mm. Cored wires are produced with varying technologies. Folded sheaths are the most common type, and Max-Cal(r) uses welding technology. Ca-containing wires that are higher in performance are available for special applications.
Ca-cored wires have several advantages over traditional steels. The wires are less brittle and are capable of overcoming ferrostatic pressure, allowing them to release calcium deeply into the ladle. The new calcium wires represent the State-of-Art in calcium treatment. These new wires also reduce treatment costs. They are a reliable alternative for steel mills that seek to secure their calcium treatment processes and reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Coils are made with a variety of specifications. The diameter of a coil is the largest part of the finished product. Often, a smaller wire diameter is used to reduce weight. In the European steel industry, the most common diameter is 13 mm. Other countries use other diameters such as 16 mm. The gauge of the wire is the thickness from end to end. The steel mill operator must carefully calculate the length of the wire to inject before it is formed.
Despite its high calcium content, the wire is easy to insert into molten steel using a wire feeder. This increases the safety and reliability of molten steel. It also reduces the cost of steelmaking. So, calcium wire is an effective solution to a variety of steelmaking problems. When properly used, it can help reduce production costs and improve quality. So, when it comes to wires, it's time to give them a try!
