The cored wire used by the steel-making and foundry industries improves casting properties, and helps reduce cast defects. Calcium cored wires are a more efficient and accurate way of adding calcium to metals than traditional lumps or granules. The calcium cored wires are also environmentally-friendly, as they prevent the entry of toxic gases into molten steel.
The sheath is steel, and the core is calcium. This wire is made by wrapping the sheath around a core of calcium and welding it together. This wire can also be fed to the steel melt through the conventional feed systems that are already in place at the facility. This saves money by allowing the existing lance system to be used instead of purchasing expensive new equipment.
The benefits of using calcium cored wire are numerous, including improved casting qualities, lower rejection rates, and more efficient steelmaking processes. Also, it helps reduce the sulfur and deoxidize the molten metal, while increasing the fluidity. It promotes rapid inclusion float. It is also more efficient than using other methods to add calcium into steel melt.
The process is used to produce high-quality cast products in the secondary refining of steel. Calcium cored wires are used to ensure a stable steel molten and increase castability. They help produce products of high quality with less defects and impurities. It is possible to inject the cored wire into the molten metal in a controlled way, allowing for more accurate alloying as well as better control of how much calcium the melt contains.
XLS Metals, a leading manufacturer of wire with calcium cores in the foundry and steel industries. We are a manufacturer with extensive knowledge and experience, and we use advanced technologies to produce reliable products. Wir hold multiple production-related technology patents, as well as cutting edge wire drawing, packaging and grinding equipment. We've also done extensive research, to enhance the performance of cored-wire.
We offer several types of solid-core calcium cored wire, which can be supplied in a wide range of diameters to meet the requirements of our customers. Hi-Cal cored steel is made of pure calcium powder encapsulated inside a stainless-steel outer sheath. This wire is more cost-effective than other cored wires because the ratio between sheath and powder is so tight. The wire's metallurgical properties are also improved by avoiding the possibility of gas leakage into the steel melting process. The encapsulated calcium is hermetically sealed in the sheath and does not evaporate during the melting process, which ensures a consistent supply of calcium to the steel melt. It is highly resistant to abrasion, corrosion, and thermal shock. This product does not contain nitrogen oxide - a gas harmful to steel in its molten form. For steelmakers looking to boost the purity and quality of the final product, this is a perfect choice.
