Calcium metal is active silver metal. It is mainly used as a deoxidizer in steelmaking.
The general forms of calcium metal are calcium metal lumps, calcium metal turnings, calcium metal granules, calcium metal-cored wires, and calcium metal rods. The main alloys of calcium are calcium silicon alloy and calcium magnesium alloy.
Calcium Metal Lumps
The calcium metal lump is made by breaking the calcium metal ingot. It is mainly used as a deoxidizing agent in steelmaking, or as an alloying agent of calcium alloy.
| Ca (min) % | Fe (max) | Mg (max) | Al (max) | Si (max) | Mn (max) |
| 98.5 | 0.03 | 0.5 | 0.4 | 0.03 | 0.02 |

Calcium Metal Manufacturing Process
Calcium Metal Granules
Calcium metal granule is made by breaking the calcium ingot. It is mainly used in the production of CaFe cored wire.
Pure Calcium Granules

Size of drum: 560*875mm.
Calcium Metal Turnings
Calcium metal turning is made by breaking the calcium ingot. Mainly used for the trial of deoxidizer.
Calcium Metal Turnings
Package: 80kg /drum ( Packing with a plastic bag filled in the argon gas in the sealed steel drum.)
MOQ: 6 tons

Size of drum: 560*875mm.
Calcium Metal Rod
A calcium metal rod is made by refining the calcium metal ingot. It is mainly used in the production of calcium wire.
Size: Diameter: 90mm Length: 40mm Diameter: 120mm Length: 48mm
Package: 150kg per drum (Packing with a plastic bag filled in the argon gas in the sealed steel drum.)
MOQ: 12 tons
Size of drum: 560*875mm.
Solid Calcium Cored Wire
Solid calcium cored wire is a kind of pure calcium cored wire. Pure calcium wire is used as raw material and wraps with steel strips.
Solid calcium cored wire is mainly used in steel making. The advantages of solid calcium cored wire:
- High purity: Compared with the calcium powder cored wire, solid calcium cored wire has high purity. (The cafe wire contains the impurity such as iron oxide)
- Uniformity: Solid pure calcium wire is more uniform than calcium powder cored wire.
- Hardness: Solid pure calcium wire with high hardness than calcium powder cored wire. The solid pure calcium wire can be fed into the bottom of the molten liquid, and improve calcium yield
