Calcium ferrite, Ca(FeO₂)₂, is an iron-bearing ceramic compound belonging to the ferrite family of oxides. It forms as an intermediate phase in calcium-iron-oxide systems and is primarily encountered in industrial processes rather than as a deliberately engineered material. This compound appears in cement chemistry, metallurgical slags, and high-temperature oxide systems where iron and calcium oxides interact; engineers select calcium ferrite compositions when controlling phase formation and thermal properties in refractory materials, cement clinker, or slag chemistry is essential.
