The current situation of China's metal calcium and silicon calcium alloy industry
2025,12,27
Recently, industry analysts introduced the current production situation of metal calcium and silicon calcium alloys in China in a special report, and made prospects for the market development of metal calcium wire.
Calcium metal, as an important material in the smelting process of high-quality steel and alloy steel, is widely used in the refining process outside the furnace in the metallurgical industry. It can effectively achieve deoxidation, decarbonization, and desulfurization, and improve the fluidity of molten steel. Meanwhile, metallic calcium is also a key reducing agent for preparing high-purity rare earth metals.
Calcium metal wire plays a role in deoxidation, desulfurization, and degassing in steelmaking and cast iron processes, and is used in deoxidation processes in various rare metal production. It is also used as a deoxidizer in high-purity steel and non-ferrous alloy manufacturing. Silicon calcium alloy is mainly used for producing high-purity steel and special performance steel with extremely low oxygen and sulfur content.
At present, China has become the world's most important producer of metallic calcium, accounting for about 95% of the world's total production. There is a complete range of calcium products and a complete industrial chain in China. After years of development, it has significant advantages in smelting, processing, trade, and export.
Under the planning and promotion of the Chinese government, the calcium industry is accelerating its transformation towards high-quality and green direction. By promoting innovation in enterprise intelligence and digital management, it promotes the collaborative integration of upstream and downstream industries, further enhancing industry operational efficiency and economic benefits.
