Application of calcium metal in industry:
Calcium metal can be used in steelmaking to produce high quality and special type steel. The calcium treatment can the problem of clogging of caster nozzle in steelmaking and globularise alumina inclusions and consequently improve the transverse properties of the steel.Calcium metal can be used in battery Industry to produce lead-calcium alloy which is the raw material of the negative plate of VRLABIn other metallurgical Industry,calcium acts as deoxidizer and the reducing agent of other chemical composition in smelting the nonferrous metal,rare-earth metal and other metals which are difficult to be melted.As a reducing agent,calcium also can be used to produce some medical intermediate in medical Industry.Calcium Metal | ||||||||||
