Carburizing Agent

From Harbour Refractory — reference entry

Carburizing agent is a carbonaceous additive used to increase carbon content in molten iron and, where appropriate, in steel refining.

Description

Grades differ in fixed carbon, sulfur/ash content, and particle size. Selection is based on dissolution behavior and composition targets under the specific process conditions.

Applications

  • Carbon adjustment in foundry irons
  • Supplemental carbon in steel refining (practice-dependent)
  • Component in carbon-containing refractory or metallurgical mixes

Packaging

  • Supplied in bags or jumbo bags on pallets
  • Labels show product name and batch identification
  • Prevent moisture ingress and bag damage in handling

Storage

  • Store in a dry, covered area; keep sealed after opening
  • Avoid direct contact with water
  • Use FIFO for consistency across lots
