The applications of carbon additive part one

1 Recarburization
Recarburizers are used to increase the carbon content in materials. The increase in carbon content leads to an increase in the strength of the material, but it also makes it more brittle. Therefore, when using recarburizers, the carbon content needs to be adjusted according to the specific needs of the product to meet the performance requirements of different castings.

2 Casting
Recarburizers are mainly used to increase the carbon content in the molten iron during the casting process. When casting cast iron and steel, castings have specific requirements for carbon content. The role of recarburizers is to meet this requirement and ensure that the carbon content in the molten iron reaches the expected level, thereby ensuring the quality and performance of the castings.

3 Increase the amount of scrap steel
Recarburizers play a role in increasing the amount of scrap steel in casting production. The use of recarburizers can reduce the amount of pig iron used, and in some cases, pig iron can be completely eliminated. This change is mainly due to the fact that recarburizers can effectively adjust the carbon content in castings to optimize their mechanical properties. By increasing the amount of scrap steel, costs can be reduced and the impact on the environment can be reduced, as pig iron usually contains more impurities. Therefore, recarburizers not only improve the quality of castings, but also help achieve a more sustainable production process.
