Choice of oxygen-to-carbon ratio in an atomized cast iron powder in iron powder manufacture

  • Published:
Soviet Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

Conclusions

The supply to the reactor of a reducing gas for the reduction-decarburization of an atomized cast iron powder has no effect on the width of the range of permissible O/C ratios in the resultant powder. Industrial self-reduction in cases where no reducing atmospheres are available should be carried out, using an atomized jast iron powder with an O/C ratio of 1.4±0.25, in continuous annealing furnaces provided with lock chambers at their charging and discharging ends.
