Calcium Silicide (CaSi) Cored Wire

Calcium Silicide Cored Wires are Added In Silicon Steel Production For High Calcium Metal Yields in Molten Steel With the Purpose of Deoxidation; DeSulphurization & Inclusion Modification of the Steel. The Purpose of Using CaSi Wire is to Obtain Higher Yields of Ca in Molten Steel as compared to Conventional Method of Adding CaSi Lumps at Bottom of Ladle, which have much Lower Density (2.5gm/cc).
