Fluxing lime

Description

Powdered lime (calcium oxide) or limestone (calcium carbonate) that is added to pig iron when it is smelted. The lime or limestone fuses with silica and alumina impurities producing a slag which floats to the top of the molten metal. The slag is readily removed leaving a purer, stronger iron behind.
