Calcium Cored Wire is used in metallurgy for inoculation, deoxidation and de-sulphurization of steel. It increases the fluidity of the melt to allow inclusions to float quickly.
Ductile cast irons have mechanical properties comparable to those of many grades of steel and far better than standard gray cast irons in corrosive environments. Hence, their wide use in the manufacturing of equipment and machinery.
The cored wire 1 according to the invention is used to treat a bath of liquid iron (non shown). It comprises an extruded bar 8 and a layer of insulating material 10.
The magnesium contained in the cored bar 8 plays a nodulising role, i.e. it makes it possible to obtain spheroidal graphite particles in the cast iron. This contributes to the casting of a high-quality steel.
The packing consists of a pure calcium powder or an alloy commonly known as CaSi or a mixture of calcium and iron powders, or even aluminum. The planar direction of the packing is defined by a transversal plane T perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L. This translates into a local, transversal planar position of the cored wire 1.
In the steelmaking process, cored wire is used as calcium additives, deoxidizers and desulfurizers. It is also used for nodularization, spheroidization and inoculation of cast iron. The main functions of the cored wire are to control sulphur content, increase the fluidity of molten steel and eliminate inclusions.
It is important to determine the position of the solid core calcium feed point in relation to the arc and molten steel flow. Ideally, the calcium should be fed at a location which is as close as possible to the centre of the molten steel flow without causing interference with other metals.
Moreover, the feeding speed should be reasonable and the core calcium powder should be tightly packed in order to prevent leakage of the core materials. Furthermore, the molten steel should be agitated to ensure the quick absorption of the cored wire. This will help the molten steel to absorb the calcium faster and improves its metallurgical properties.
Cored wire injection is a simple, automated method for introducing metals and alloys in molten steel. It provides reproducible results between ladles and high-quality iron, with a minimum of investment. It can also be adapted to most existing ladles, making it a cost-effective and easy option for many iron metallurgy processes.
In order to achieve optimal calcium absorption, it is important that the feeding speed of the cored wire is reasonable. Feeding too quickly or too slowly will affect the amount of calcium absorbed by the molten steel. The speed should be adjusted according to the feed rate of your iron plant.
The cored wire feeding equipment is usually comprised of a gatherer that is used to locate and import the steel band, a format roll that is used for curling, a hold-down head to prevent vibration of the calcium line, welding rolls and a tube reducing roller. This combination makes it possible to adjust the cored wire diameter without changing the steel band.
The utility model is a kind of calcium cored wire whose inner solid metal calcium layer is closely combined with the outer steel jacket. The outer steel jacket has a higher linear density than the existing calcium iron cored wire, so that it can be used to insert molten metal into the iron or steel melting process easily.
The cored wire can also be used for the deoxidation and desulfurization of molten steel, increasing the fluidity of steel, promoting the rapid floating of inclusions in steel, and improving the quality of steel. It can replace the traditional method of adding calcium alloy into the molten steel ladle, which has many shortcomings and is less efficient.
