Calcium silicate, not called calcium silicide, contains 22 to 35% calcium and 60 to 65% silicon. YB 525-65 stipulates that the calcium content is not less than 31%, 28% and 24% respectively. Mainly used as inoculant for cast iron.

Calcium silicon alloy has strong reducing power and is also used as a deoxidizer for high-quality steel. Since calcium is highly active at steelmaking temperatures and the effect is not stable, it is advisable to add some kind of slowing agent.
