Calcium Metallurgical Wire
Minteq International Inc.'s proprietary technology for its Pferrocal® solid-core calcium wire provides steel makers with superior inclusion-modification control and optimal calcium-addition performance. This technology reliably provides our customers with improved quality, productivity, and long-term value. Pferrocal® calcium wire offers numerous important advantages over powder-filled wire, such as :
Advantages- Virtual elimination of wire break issues
- Superior and more consistent calcium recovery
- Lower-cost calcium treatment per ton of steel produced
- Increased shelf life over competitive products
- Improved yield on semi-finished and finished steel products. Minteq wire also offers a more environmentally friendly treatment application.
Pferrocal® calcium wire can be delivered via traditional wire feeders for improved economics and steel quality, or it can be injected into the ladle through our proprietary lance feeder system. The MINTEQ® lance feeder delivers the ultimate in calcium recovery, especially in thin-slab caster applications, where castability is critical.
