What is AOD Treatment Steelmaking
The Purpose of AOD Treatment: Solving the Chromium-Carbon Dilemma Stainless steel’s defining characteristic is its corrosion resistance and that depends entirely on chromium, yet removing carbon from molten steel risks oxidizing and destroying it. This is the central thermodynamic challenge of stainless-steel refining. At the high temperatures required for decarburization, chromium and carbon compete for […]
