Calcium Cored Wire Methods

The present invention concerns the refining of wires outside of steel-making furnaces, and in particular a production process for pure calcium cored passivated wire. The main components of the production system are a heater, an extruder, a passivation processor 3, a cored wiring unit 8, and a Calcium feed pump. The extruder is used to convert a metal rod of calcium heated to plastic molding temperature, into cored F7mm wire.

Cored Wire Technology

For example, they are used for purifying steel, changing inclusions' shapes, improving the mechanical and castability properties of steel products, as well as reducing defects. In terms of energy savings, process control, and steel smelting, alloy cored wires are superior to powder spraying or direct joining of blocks.

Various types of cored wires are available on the market, including silicon calcium wire, calcium iron wire and pure solid calcium wire. Among them, silicon calcium wire is the most common and popular. It's an efficient way to utilize calcium. It removes oxygen effectively from molten iron and reduces its slag. Also, it helps reduce clogging and improves castability. Silicon calcium wire has some disadvantages, including a need for high-speed injection and excess calcium which can adversely impact the steel's quality and rate of recovery.

In contrast, a new cored wire based on high purity calcium metal was developed recently called Hi-Cal(r). It requires a much lower injection rate and is far easier to operate than traditional silicon calcium wire. Hi-Cal(r), on the other hand, doesn't cause local hypersaturation because it adds excess calcium.

Note that cored-wires of good quality are essential to any successful steelmaking project. It has a major impact on casting yields, tensile strengths, toughnesses and ductility. To maximize the performance of the product, it's important to select the correct type of wire core, the appropriate injection method, and the optimal pressure level for the melt. In addition, it's important to maintain constant steel flow during melting. It will also ensure the best conditions are created for solidification and casting in the ladle. To ensure there are no issues or irregularities, the cored wire must be continuously monitored throughout the melting and solidification procedure. A cored steel that does not function properly can cause costly delays and downtime. This will eventually result in an increased profitability for the manufacturer.
