Process carbons for metallurgical applications

Numerous areas of application in the steel industry

Process carbons are used in numerous steel production processes due to the material properties of carbon. By providing technical application advice and selecting the right product quality, we can work with our customers to achieve the most efficient applications possible.

General applications

  • Carburizing agents in various quality levels
  • Blowing coals for slag foaming or carburizing
  • Reducing agent in the blast furnace process
  • Efficiency increase / substitution of hard coal coke
  • Scrap basket coal
  • Set coal
  • Carbon hardening
  • Carburizing agents based on biogenic raw materials
Areas of uses

Wide range of applications

Due to the necessity of combining iron and carbon in steel production, the applications and areas of use are very numerous.

You also need the necessary market overview to select the right process carbon, as there is a large number of applicable product qualities due to the variety of raw materials and refining options.

We would be happy to advise you on your application.

Characterization

The choice of process carbon is crucial

There are numerous raw materials and production processes for manufacturing a carbon concentrate/process carbon. We maintain an overview and recommend the optimum product for your application depending on the area of application, availability and market situation.

Frequently asked questions

So-called carbon concentrates are generally used as carburizing agents. These can be produced on the basis of various raw materials and using various production processes. The resulting number of possible carburizing agents is so numerous that we can make a selection/recommendation specifically for the customer’s process.

Numerous projects for the decarbonization of industry are working towards the reduction of fossil carbon carriers in industrial processes. The production process is often not possible without the introduction of carbon. Accordingly, the use of high-quality process carbons in industrial production processes will play an increasingly important role in the course of decarbonization.

Together with the industry, we at LSR Materials have developed process carbons that are not based on fossil raw materials but still have the functional properties of a carbon concentrate. Just get in touch with us.
