Features are established for formation of flux-cored wire spatial movement trajectories in relation to its parameters and rate of introduction, and possible areas of filler release are identified. A procedure is developed and a nomogram is constructed for evaluating existing technologies of steel treatment with flux-cored wire containing calcium reagents, and reasons for a reduction in calcium release are sought, making it possible to optimize flux-cored wire introduction rate in order to increase the efficiency, resource and ecological indices of the process.
