We make our cored wire using low-carbon, low-sulfur steel sheath, where we tightly encase powdered minerals, metals, and ferroalloys. These powders are precisely added in a way that ensures consistent chemistry and density throughout the length of every coil we produce.
CORED-WIRE TREATMENT
Wire injection using Affival cored wire is the most cost-effective process for in-ladle treatment.
Our calcium wires are designed with a special insulation to provide deeper penetration into liquid metal and improved performance. Furthermore, our technical team can leverage our newly developed calcium treatment model to optimize your calcium-wire treatment and improve recovery.
Cored wire can contain any of the following:
Calcium Treatment & Inclusion Modification
Shape control includes all calcium-bearing cored wires (powder and solid) such as PapCal®, Calcium HDx ™, Caltech, CaSi, CaFe, and CaAlFe. Our Ca wires are designed with special insulation to provide deeper penetration into liquid metal and improved performance. Contact us to learn more →
