Industrial Applications
of Calcium and Calcium Alloys
Calcium and calcium alloys are widely used in modern industries, mainly as reducing agents, deoxidizers, desulfurizers, dehydrating agents, gas separators, etc.
-
Steel and Foundries
Calcium metal is mainly used as a deoxidizer and desulfurizer in the steel and foundry industry. It effectively modifies the inclusions in the ladle. In addition, calcium metal can also be utilized to enhance the mechanical properties of certain high-temperature alloys.
-
Non-Ferrous Metallurgy
Calcium metal serves as a crucial reducing agent for various non-ferrous and rare-earth metals, such as Chromium, Titanium, Zirconium, Thorium, Uranium, etc.
-
Petroleum and Chemical Industry
Calcium metal has a wide range of applications in the petroleum and chemical industry, including argon gas separators, purifiers of oil and gas, industrial heavy metal treatment, etc.
-
Battery Industry
Calcium metal plays a key role in the production of Lead-acid batteries. Lead-Calcium alloys soundly reduce water losses and mitigate self-discharge issues compared to traditional Lead-Antimony alloys.
