Abstract
Abstract Composite calcium materials to be used for welding or refining steel, nickel, nickel alloy or iron alloy, which are produced by cladding a sheath of aluminum, iron or alloys thereof and a core consisting of 1. A MIXTURE OR AN ALLOY OF CALCIUM OR AN ALLOY THEREOF WITH AT LEAST ONE ELEMENT OF ALUMINUM AND RARE EARTH METALS, 2. A MIXTURE OF CALCIUM OR AN ALLOY THEREOF WITH A FLUX OF SILICATES, OXIDES OR HALIDES OF ALKALINE EARTH METALS, OR 3. A MIXTURE CONSISTING OF THE ABOVE DESCRIBED MIXTURE OR ALLOY (1) WITH THE FLUX AS DESCRIBED IN THE ABOVE ITEM (2).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A composite calcium clad material for treating molten metal, said material consisting of 1. a solidified core which has been mechanically compressed and deformed, said core consisting essentially of A. a material selected from the group consisting of metallic calcium, calcium aluminum alloy and mixtures thereof, and B. at least one element selected from the group consisting of aluminum and rare earth metals, and 2. a sheath of iron or alloy thereof in which said core is encased, the core being 10-90 percent by weight based on the composite material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
A composite calcium clad material for treating molten metal, said material consisting of 1. a solidified core which has been mechanically compressed and deformed, said core consisting essentially of A. a material selected from the group consisting of metallic calcium, calcium aluminum alloy and mixtures thereof, and B. at least one element selected from the group consisting of aluminum and rare earth metals, and 2. a sheath of iron or alloy thereof in which said core is encased, the core being 10-90 percent by weight based on the composite material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
85 words
