Carbon Injection
Carbon injection is a process used in steelmaking to introduce carbon into molten iron to increase its carbon content and heat up molten iron temperature.
This is done to achieve the desired carbon level needed to produce specific types of steel. The process involves injecting a controlled amount of carbon into the molten iron through a lance.
This injection causes a chemical reaction, which leads to the formation of carbon monoxide gas, which rises to the surface, leaving behind a higher carbon content in the molten iron. Carbon injection is a critical step in the steelmaking process, and it requires precise control to ensure the desired carbon content is achieved.
