Calcium carbide is used:

In the desulfurization of iron (pig iron, cast iron and steel)

As a fuel in steel-making to extend the scrap ratio to liquid iron, depending on economics.

As a powerful deoxidizer at ladle treatment facilities.

In every case, consistent carbide purity and sizing are of special importance, especially with respect to oversize and fines. We can provide the grade size ofCalciumCarbide that best meets the requirements of a particular application.
