Alloys Cored Wire

Alloy cored wire has a wide range of applications in steelmaking and casting processes, including purifying molten steel, improving inclusion morphology, increasing alloy yield, reducing alloy consumption and steelmaking costs.

Application of alloy cored wire in steelmaking

Alloy cored wire is mainly used in steelmaking for the following purposes:

Purification of molten steel: By adding deoxidizers and desulfurizers, impurities in the molten steel are removed to improve its purity.

Improving the morphology of inclusions: By adding elements such as calcium, long strip-shaped sulfide inclusions can be avoided, thereby improving the anisotropy of steel.

Improving the yield of alloys: Alloy cored wire can significantly increase the yield of alloys, reduce alloy consumption, and thus lower steelmaking costs.

Refining and precision casting: changing inclusions, alloying, and purifying molten steel to improve the quality of cast iron and steel, reduce casting and steelmaking costs, and increase economic benefits.

Application of Alloy Core Wire in Casting

During the casting process, alloy cored wire is mainly used for the following purposes:

Preventing nodules: By adding elements such as silicon, calcium, and barium, nodules in continuous casting can be prevented, while deoxidation and desulfurization are carried out.

Improving the morphology of inclusions: By adding elements such as calcium, the morphology of inclusions can be improved and the quality of cast iron can be enhanced.

Improving economic benefits: By optimizing the use of alloys, reducing alloy consumption, and significantly improving economic benefits.
