INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Deoxidation Products

Chemical compounds used to remove oxygen from molten steel during forging ingot production.

Component Specifications

Definition
Deoxidation products are specialized chemical agents introduced into molten steel to eliminate dissolved oxygen, preventing gas porosity and oxide inclusions that compromise mechanical properties in high-strength forging steel ingots. These materials react with oxygen to form stable oxides that either float to the surface as slag or remain as harmless dispersed particles.
Working Principle
Chemical reduction where deoxidizers (typically aluminum, silicon, or manganese alloys) react with dissolved oxygen in molten steel to form stable oxide compounds (Al2O3, SiO2, MnO), which are then removed through flotation or remain as fine, controlled inclusions.
Materials
Ferroalloys (FeSi, FeMn, FeAl), pure aluminum, calcium silicide, rare earth metals; composition varies based on required final steel grade and inclusion control.
Technical Parameters
  • Density 2.7-7.8 g/cm³
  • Melting Point 600-1600°C
  • Particle Size 1-10 mm
  • Reaction Time 2-10 minutes
  • Oxygen Removal Efficiency 85-99%
Standards
ISO 4948-1, DIN EN 10020, ASTM A751

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common deoxidation products used in high-strength steel?

Aluminum, ferrosilicon, and calcium silicide are most common, with aluminum providing strong deoxidation but potentially creating hard alumina inclusions, while calcium modifies inclusions into softer forms.

How do deoxidation products affect steel ingot quality?

Proper deoxidation reduces porosity and non-metallic inclusions, improving tensile strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance in forged components.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
