The principal impetus for cored wire injection was the increased use of calcium and its alloys in continuous casting, although it is now applied elsewhere. It is applied in the following metallurgical applications :
1.Calcium treatment
2.Aluminium injection
3.Desulphurisation of hot metal
4.Micro allying
5.Tundish injection
6. Foundry application
7.Non ferrous industries
Wire injection is a practical, cost effective way for increasing productivity and steel quality. It can be applied to aluminium bulk and trim alloying, calcium treatment, micro alloying, trim additions and tundish metallurgy.
