Today, a large number of different steel grades exist. The mechanical and physical properties are influenced by the alloys in the steel product. One important alloying element is carbon. During centuries of development, cast iron and steel grades with carbon have been used as an important part of daily products.
The importance of different recarburizers in iron and steel production is shown. The chemical properties and the differences of recarburizers for various applications are pointed out. Furthermore, unique qualities with high purity are presented.
The production process for different grades of recarburizers is shown. Differences within the production process to the final product quality for the foundries and steel works are discussed.
This presentation will give an overview of carbon products, especially high grade recarburizers, from their production up to the final use in steel/iron products.
