Description

Calcium CAS NO 14092-94-5 is a highly reactive, elemental metal essential for a wide range of industrial chemical processes. Its strong reducing power makes it a critical reagent for metallurgical applications and the synthesis of specialty alloys. This material is primarily utilized by industries involved in metal production, chemical manufacturing, and as a getter in high-vacuum systems.

Application

• Metallurgy: As a powerful reducing agent in the production of metals such as thorium, uranium, and zirconium from their oxides or halides.
• Alloy Production: A key component in the manufacture of aluminum, beryllium, copper, lead, and magnesium alloys to enhance strength and reduce oxidation.
• Chemical Synthesis: Used as a reagent in organic synthesis and for the preparation of calcium hydride, a useful drying agent and reducing agent.
• Getter in Electronics: Employed in vacuum tubes and other electronic devices to absorb residual gases (gettering) and ensure optimal performance.
• Steel Deoxidation: Acts as a deoxidizer, desulfurizer, and degasifier in the production of high-quality, clean steel.
• Battery Anodes: Investigated for use in advanced battery systems, particularly calcium-ion batteries, due to its high theoretical capacity.
