High-magnesium cored wire, as the name suggests, is a type of cored wire containing a high concentration of magnesium. This material is primarily used for desulfurization and deoxidation in the steelmaking process. Sulfur and oxygen are two common impurities in steelmaking that degrade the performance of the steel. High-magnesium cored wire purifies the molten steel by adding a high concentration of magnesium, which reacts chemically with sulfur and oxygen to form easily discharged compounds.
In the metallurgical industry, both high-magnesium cored wire and spheroidized cored wire are commonly used materials, each with unique characteristics and applications. However, many people may confuse these two materials, believing them to be the same thing.
