Calcium Silicide, For Industrial

Calcium Silicide, also known as Ferro Silicon Calcium, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CaSi2. It's part of a class of materials called Silicides, which are compounds made from silicon and metal. Calcium silicide is notable for its high silicon content and is commonly used as a deoxidizer and desulfurizer in steel manufacturing and other metallurgical processes.

Calcium and silicon are both powerful deoxidizers. Therefore, calcium silicon is mainly used in high grade steel production as a deoxidizer and desulfurizer. Calcium Silicon can control size, shape, oxide distribution and sulfide addition, which improves several properties of the resultant products, for instance impact, ductility, machinability and fluidity. Calcium Silicon can be combined with Barium, as this chemical element works to reduce the vapor pressure and increase the density of the alloy, which also improves efficiency. It is mainly provided in powder and lump forms. Steel industry is the largest consumer of calcium silicon. Both calcium and silicon have chemical affinity for oxygen. Calcium has a chemical affinity for nitrogen and sulfur as well. Calcium Silicon alloy as a sulfide former enables sulfides distribution that minimizes chain-type inclusions. Calcium silicide, because it is capable of producing bright flashes of light when burned, can also often be used in the production of fireworks and flares.

• Calcium Silicide is presently imported to meet the necessities in the country.
• Calcium Silicide alloy is a composite alloy composed of silicon, calcium and iron. It is commonly used as deoxidizer and desulfurizer in steel smelting.
• Calcium Silicide can be used as a substitute for Ferro Silicon and Ferro Manganese when added to make different types of steel
• Calcium and silicon have a strong affinity with oxygen. Especially calcium, not only has a strong affinity with oxygen, but also with sulfur, nitrogen has a strong affinity.
• So the Calcium Silicide alloy is an ideal compound deoxidizer and desulfurizer It is applied to the production of high-quality steel, special steel and special alloy, such as calcium silicon alloy can be used as deoxidizer in the production of rail steel, low carbon steel, stainless steel and other steel and nickel-based alloys, titanium- based alloys and other special alloys.
• Calcium Silicide alloy is also suitable for the converter steel-making workshop as the warming agent, and cast iron's inoculant and additives in the nodular cast iron production.
