Why Cored Wire Beats Bulk Alloy Additions
Bulk alloy chunks tossed onto the slag layer are unpredictable. Cored wire, by contrast, delivers powdered or solid alloy deep into the molten bath, where it dissolves efficiently and predictably. The results:
| Benefit | What It Means on the Shop Floor |
|---|---|
| Higher alloy recovery | Target chemistries on the first tap, fewer re‑heats |
| Improved safety | No violent eruptions at the slag surface |
| Lower alloy cost per ton | Less material wasted, tighter control |
| Shorter tap‑to‑tap times | Productivity gains without major cap‑ex |
What’s Inside the Jacket?
Almost any alloying element can be packed into a steel‑sheath wire:
- Mainstream additions: calcium, ferrotitanium, carbon
- Exotics: niobium (columbium), titanium sponge, ferro‑molybdenum
- Custom blends: ask us—we build 25 + chemistries and counting
All wires are available in four diameters to match your lance equipment and heat size.
Spotlight: MEGACAL JC‑XO™ Calcium Wire
Traditional calcium wire can be highly reactive, creating flare‑ups or poor recovery. Our patented MEGACAL JC‑XO formulation:
- Reacts slower in the lance, not on the shop floor
- Delivers higher Ca recovery, improving desulfurization and inclusion control
- Reduces clogging in tundish nozzles and casting equipment
Built‑In Quality You Can See
