Carburizing Agent For Casting

In casting, carburizing agents are used to introduce carbon into the surface layers of a metal or alloy to improve its hardness and wear resistance. The carburizing process involves exposing the metal to a source of carbon at elevated temperatures. Several carburizing agents can be used, including:

  1. 1.Graphite: Natural or synthetic graphite is a common carburizing agent. It provides a stable source of carbon when heated and is often used in foundries.

  2. 2.Petroleum Coke: Graphitized petroleum coke (GPC) is a form of carbon with high carbon content and low impurities. It's commonly used as a carburizing agent due to its consistent carbon content.

  3. 3.Anthracite Coal: Anthracite is a type of coal with high carbon content and low volatile matter. It can be used as a carburizing agent in some casting processes.

  4. 4.Charcoal: Charcoal is a natural carbon source and has been historically used for carburizing. It's still used in some traditional or smaller-scale foundries.

  5. 5.Metallurgical Coke: Metallurgical coke, a byproduct of coal, can also be used for carburizing, although it has higher impurities compared to other carburizing agents.

  6. 6.Coke Breeze: Coke breeze consists of fine particles of coke and is sometimes used as a carburizing agent in specific applications.

The choice of carburizing agent depends on factors like the type of metal or alloy being cast, the desired properties (e.g., hardness, wear resistance), and the specific casting process being employed. It's essential to select a carburizing agent that provides the right carbon content and purity for the application to achieve the desired results. Additionally, the temperature and duration of the carburizing process are critical parameters to control for achieving the desired surface properties in the castings.
