Calcium cored wire also call Ca cored wire, it is a Materials for metallurgy. calcium cored wire is mainly made of calcium metal or calcium alloy as the core material, and is wrapped with a layer of steel strip. It is similar to calcium silicon cored wire, calcium iron cored wire and other alloy cored wires.
The role of pure calcium core wire
The main function of metal calcium cored wire is to calcium treat molten steel during the steelmaking or casting process. When the Ca cored wire is fed into the molten steel, it will react with the oxygen in the molten steel to generate calcium oxide and calcium sulfide, which can effectively remove the oxygen and sulfur in the molten steel, effectively improve the quality of steel or castings, and improve their Purity.

Calcium cored wire price trend analysis latest from China
Recently, affected by the raw material metal calcium, the price of calcium cored wire has been relatively high and stable. At present, the mainstream market quotation of solid core pure calcium wire Ca98%min∮9mm (Ca58-68g) is 11,300-11,800 yuan/ton (delivery price including tax).
The demand is not good, and some steel companies have stopped production, resulting in a lack of confidence in cored wire companies. The order volume of other solid core pure calcium wire processing plants is either stable or weak. At this stage, the only positive news for solid core pure calcium wires comes from the raw material side. Under the circumstances of high costs and weak demand, the supply and demand operations of solid core pure calcium wire companies are relatively difficult.
China’s calcium core wire prices in the past three months
Judging from the chart, the price of calcium cored wire has been on a steady upward trend in the past three months. From September 6, 2024 to September 23, 2024, the lowest price of calcium core wire in China’s domestic market is 11,050 yuan per ton, and the highest is 11,250 yuan per ton.
Prices began to rise from September 25, 2024, with the lowest price of calcium core wire reaching 11,140 yuan per ton and the highest reaching 11,650 yuan per ton.
Then a new round of rise began. As of November 8, 2024, the highest price was 11,850 yuan, and the general market price was 11,500 yuan per ton.
