Calcium Silicon Alloy
Calcium silicon is a metallurgical addition used for deoxidation and desulfurization, and for inclusion modification in certain steel grades.
Description
Addition methods and particle size are selected to balance efficiency and safety. Treatment practice and target chemistry determine specific usage.
Applications
- Deoxidation and desulfurization in ladle metallurgy
- Inclusion modification for grades requiring Ca treatment
- Foundry inoculation where applicable
Packaging
- Bags or cartons on pallets with batch identification
- Protect from moisture and mechanical impact
- Follow safe handling guidance for metallurgical additions
Storage
- Store dry and covered; keep sealed when not in use
- Segregate by lot to manage composition control
- Apply FIFO to maintain consistency
