Volatile matter of carburizer

Volatile matter of carburizer

The volatile matter of a carburizer refers to the gaseous substances produced by the thermal decomposition of the carburizer under certain conditions. These gaseous substances are considered as invalid parts in the carburizer because they will increase the gas content in the molten steel after entering the molten steel, which may affect the quality of the molten steel.

In application scenarios such as steelmaking, the volatile matter of a carburizer is an important indicator. A higher volatile matter will cause more gas to enter the molten steel, which may increase the impurities and gas content in the molten steel and affect the quality of the final product. Therefore, when selecting a carburizer, its volatile matter content is usually considered, and products with lower volatile matter are selected as much as possible.

Since the volatile matter of a carburizer may cause an increase in inclusions in the molten steel, this may have an adverse effect on the quality of the casting. For example, too many inclusions may form defects in the casting and reduce the mechanical properties and appearance quality of the casting.

The volatile matter of a carburizer has many effects on the casting process, including the purity and fluidity of the molten iron, the mechanical properties and appearance quality of the casting, etc. Therefore, when choosing a carburizer, you should try to choose a product with low volatility to ensure the smooth casting process and the quality of the casting.

In summary, the volatile matter of a carburizer refers to the gaseous substance produced during its thermal decomposition process, which is mainly determined by the calcination or coking temperature and treatment process of the carburizer. It is an important quality indicator that directly affects the application effect of the carburizer in steel production.
