What is the uses of Calcium silicide?

What is Calcium silicide?
Calcium silicide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CaSi2, which belongs to metal silicide. Calcium silicide is insoluble in water, decomposes in hot water, is flammable, and may spontaneously ignite in the air. It can react violently with hydrochloric acid. Industrial products usually contain aluminum and iron impurities. It is also known as calcium disilicide, and the chemical formula is CaSi2. Calcium silicide CaSi2 powder is used in steelmaking deoxidation and special steel additives. Calcium silicide can be formed by reacting Ca metal and Si in an inert atmosphere at 850°C. It is a white or dark gray to black solid with a melting point between 700 and 935°C.
Uses of Calcium silicide
Calcium silicide has many uses. Some of them include: calcium silicide is used to make special metal alloys, for example, for phosphorus removal, and as a deoxidizer.
In the pyrotechnic industry, it is used as fuel to make special mixtures, such as smoke, flash components, and detonators.
Calcium silicide is used to make some initiators, pyrotechnics, and smoke components. Silicon and calcium alloys are mainly used as desulfurizes and deoxidizers in the iron and steel industry and foundry industries.
It has been found that calcium silicide is extremely corrosive to all metals, including refractory metals. Calcium intermetallic silicide (CaSi2) is formed by simultaneously reducing calcium oxide, silica particles, and dissolved carbon dioxide in the electrolyte.
Silicon-based fuels are used in some delay mixtures, such as explosive bolts, grenades, and infrared decoys. Smoke components usually contain hexachloroethane;
In the combustion process, they will produce silicon tetrachloride, just like titanium tetrachloride used in smoke screens, which reacts with moisture in the air to produce dense white fog. Some mixtures use gum Arabic to inhibit the decomposition of calcium silicide.
Self-heating canned military rations invented during World War II used a 1:1 mixture of iron oxide and calcium silicide similar to thermite. When this mixture is ignited, it will generate a proper amount of heat and will not produce gas.
Price of Calcium silicide
Calcium silicide particle size and purity will affect the product's price, and the purchase volume can also affect the cost of Calcium silicide. A large amount of large amount will be lower. The price of Calcium silicide can be found on our company's official website.
