The deoxidation with CaC2 is independently possible in several stages of steelmaking process:
Using CaC2 as deoxidizer in Secondary Metallurgy leads to many benefits in the whole steelmaking process:
ALMAMET offers technical Calcium Carbide in different grain sizes and tailor-made packaging.
Carbide-based pellets for slag conditioning during LF-treatment can be produced containing additives for enhanced properties.
ALMAMET engineers and supplies tailor-made dosing systems that enable the safe addition of precise amounts of lumpy Calcium Carbide during tapping at BOF or EAF operations.
These specially designed dosing stations ensure a reduction of the oxygen potential in steel through the reaction of Calcium Carbide with oxygen. This approach allows a significant reduction in the amount of Aluminum required in secondary metallurgy, minimizing alumina formation and improving steel quality by lowering impurities and inclusions.
The dosing systems are engineered to precisely control both the quantity and the dosing rate of Calcium Carbide, ensuring maximum safety while enhancing steel quality and reducing operational costs.
