4 Prevent or reduce shrinkage tendency
Carburizers are mainly used to prevent or reduce shrinkage tendency. Shrinkage tendency is a common problem in casting, welding or other metal processing processes, which may cause material deformation or cracks. Carburizers adjust the chemical composition of the metal by increasing the carbon content, thereby effectively reducing the shrinkage tendency. This adjustment can optimize the mechanical properties of the metal, improve its crack resistance and ductility, and thus ensure the stability of the processing process and the quality of the final product.

 

5 Increase the carbon content in molten iron
Carburizers are mainly used to increase the carbon content in molten iron. In the process of ironmaking or steelmaking, carbon content is an important parameter, which directly affects the physical and chemical properties of molten iron or steel. Carburizers usually contain a high carbon element. By adding it to molten iron, the carbon content can be effectively increased to meet specific production needs or improve the properties of molten iron. In addition, adjusting the carbon content can also affect the mechanical properties of molten iron or steel, such as hardness, plasticity, and wear resistance. Therefore, carburizers play an indispensable role in metal smelting.

 

6 Make up for the carbon content lost during steel smelting
Carburizers are mainly used to make up for the carbon content lost during steel smelting. In steel production, carbon is an important element that affects the mechanical properties and chemical properties of steel. Due to the high temperature and chemical reactions during the smelting process, the carbon content in steel may be reduced. In order to ensure the quality and performance of steel, carburizers need to be added to restore or maintain the appropriate carbon content. This not only improves the strength and hardness of steel, but also optimizes its other properties such as corrosion resistance. Therefore, carburizers play a key role in steel smelting.
