A cored-wire for injecting into a steel melt and process of treating a steel melt using said wire

摘要

A wire for injecting into a steel melt in an injection direction, the wire comprising a metallic tubular shell enclosing a core, the core comprising calcium or a calcium containing compound, wherein the core also comprises a distribution enhancing compound for distributing the calcium or calcium containing compound in the steel melt in a direction substantially perpendicular to the injection direction wherein the distribution enhancing compound comprises a compound having a vapour pressure which is higher than the vapour pressure of calcium at liquid steel temperatures for obtaining a more homogeneous distribution of the calcium or calcium containing compound in the steel melt. The invention also relates to a process of treating a steel melt using said wire, the use of said wire and the resulting continuously cast steel product.
