Cored wire ladle treatment

[rd400guy]

I'm looking for the impact of different cored wire compositions on inclusion content/morphology during ladle treatment. We're currently using Cal-Sil, and I'm wondering about aluminum calcium wire, or possibly magnesium wire. Google search was fruitless, only cal-sil info.

This is an area where I am also trying to obtain more information. I just purchased the new Making, Shaping, and Treating of Steel (11th Edition) volumes for Steelmaking and Casting, which I hope will discuss this subject in sufficient detail. They are available from AIST by using the following link:
