“The electric furnace production of cast iron often requires a recarburizing step because the process relies on inexpensive, relatively low carbon scrap as a starting material. High carbon scrap, high carbon ferroalloys or even pig iron are used as sources of carbon but when practice, specifications or economics dictate, specific recarburizers are needed.
So recarburizer can be used in the casting, which can significantly increase the amount of scrap steel and reduce the consumption of pig iron or even doesn’t use pig iron.”

Steel abrasives are steel particles that are used as abrasive or peening media. They are usually available in two different shapes (shot and grit) that address different industrial applications. Steel shot refers to spherical grains made of molten steel through an atomization (“granulation”) process, available in different sizes and hardnesses.

The main application of calcium carbide is when reacting with water to generate acetylene gas. Carbide is used as a desulphurising agent in the metallurgical industry to remove sulphur from the iron before it is converted in the BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace). Carbide is also used for FeO and MnO deoxidation in the steel industry.

Silicon carbide is used for the de-oxidation and re-carburation of cast iron and steel in foundries. Metallurgical grade Silicon Carbide grain is a unique material for use in the production of iron and steel. It is used in the foundry industry for electric furnace production of gray, ductile, and malleable iron. It is an excellent source of carbon and silicon, promoting nucleation and rendering the iron more responsive to inoculation, deoxidizing the iron, which enhances furnace lining life.

Crushing the additives (deoxidant,desulfurizer,alloys) into certain granulation (in the form of powder), then,using the equipment to fill the powder into the “U” shaped sheath, which is made of high quality cold rolled steel strip, lastly, tightly closing the wire, so a multiple material(cored wire) with certain length will be obtained.Calcium Silicon (CaSi) is a potent deoxidizer and desulfurizer utilized in the production of high grade steels. Calcium Silicon is used to control the shape, size and distribution of oxide and sulfide inclusions improving fluidity, machinability, ductility, and impact properties of the final product.Calcium iron (CaFe) contributes greatly to deoxidation, desulfuration and impurity removing, it also helps increase the collecting rate of rare earth elements and other elements, enable the stability of the composition, reduce the usage amount of valuable mental elements.
