In order to prevent the decrease of carbon content in steel products during steelmaking, carburizers are usually added to solve this problem. But what are the types of carburizers and what are their specific uses?
What is a carburizer
Carburizing agent is the product of increasing carbon (c). In the process of steelmaking, due to various factors, the carbon content in molten steel decreases, which affects the quality of finished steel. Therefore, steel mills often buy carburizing agent in order to deal with the carbon decline in steelmaking. There are many common types of carburizers, including graphite carburizers, petroleum coke carburizers and casting carburizers, which are mainly used in steel-making and casting industries.
Carburizers can be roughly divided into the following types.
Application of graphite carburizing agent:
1. Graphite carbon can improve the metallographic structure of castings
2. Graphite carbon can be used to rapidly form graphite core from cast iron
3. Graphite carbon can also shorten the time of carbon increase and improve the effect of carbon increase
Application of petroleum coke carbonizing agent:
1. Carbonizing agent of petroleum coke can effectively raise furnace temperature
2. Use of carbonizing agent to improve the yield of petroleum coke
3. Petroleum coke carbonizing agent has good metallurgical environment
Application of carburizing agent for casting
1. The carburizer of calcined coal can effectively increase the amount of carbon
2. The burning coal carburizer can shorten the cycle time of carbon increase
Advantages of carburizer:
Carburizing agent is widely used in steel-making, casting, smelting and other industries. It has the advantages of high mechanical properties and can better meet the technical requirements of production. In the actual steel-making process, there are many advantages of carburizing agent, which can greatly shorten the carburizing time, improve the carburizing effect of steel products, increase the input of scrap steel, and make rational and effective use of existing capital It has the advantages of low cost, low cost and so on.
