Calcium Silicon Cored Wire is a type of cored wire that is used as a deoxidizer and desulfurizer in steelmaking and casting. It consists of a hollow steel tube filled with a mixture of calcium silicide powder and iron powder, which are used as the main active ingredients.
The Calcium Silicon Cored Wire is added to the molten steel or casting in order to promote the formation of calcium oxide and calcium sulfide, which react with the impurities in the steel to form slag. This helps to remove the impurities, resulting in a cleaner and higher-quality steel.
