A cored wire consisting of an inner calcium wire surrounded by an aluminum sheath forming a composite core which in turn is encased in a steel jacket. The cored wire is formed continuously by covering an extruded calcium wire with aluminum then inserting the aluminum covered calcium wire into a steel jacket in a roll forming process. Also disclosed is a method of reducing splashing when introducing calcium metal into a molten ferrous metal bath.

Method for treating molten metal with cored wire

Cored wire for treating molten metal

A cored wire continuously formed by continuously inserting an extruded core inside a continuously roll formed sheath, the peripheral edges of the roll formed sheath joined by a continuous lock seam. Inspection of the partially formed lock seam at a designated process step serves to warn the user of malformed or defective lock seam portions in the finished cored wire.

Cored wire for treating molten metal and method of manufacture

Method of manufacture of cored wire for treating molten metal

Cored wire is spirally wound on a storage reel with fixed space between each spiral in a given layer. Alternate layers are wound across the preceding layer in the same manner until the reel is full.
