Calcium Disilicide Powder Chemical Analysis

Calcium Disilicide Powder Properties

• It is insoluble in water but decomposes when met with water to produce hydrogen gas and calcium hydroxide.
• It can decompose in hot water.
• It is soluble in acids and bases.
• It is flammable and can self-ignite in the air.

Calcium Disilicide Powder Applications

• Used as phosphorus removal
• Used as deoxidizer of special metal alloy
• Used in the manufacture of certain detonating agents, pyrotechnics, and smoke components
• Used as a desulfurizing agent and deoxidizing agent in the steel and foundry industry
