Carbon Raiser (Recarburizer) for Steelmaking & Foundry Applications

High Fixed Carbon · Low Impurities · Stable Carburization Performance

Carbon Raiser, also known as Recarburizer or Carbon Additive, is a critical metallurgical material used to increase carbon content during steelmaking and foundry processes. It plays a key role in controlling chemical composition, improving melt quality, and ensuring consistent mechanical properties of finished metal products.

Our Carbon Raiser is manufactured from carefully selected carbon-rich raw materials and processed under strict quality control to deliver high fixed carbon, low sulfur, low ash, and excellent carbon absorption efficiency, making it suitable for a wide range of iron and steel applications.


What Is Carbon Raiser?

Carbon Raiser is a carbonaceous additive introduced into molten iron or steel to compensate for carbon loss during melting, refining, or remelting. It ensures precise carbon adjustment, which directly affects hardness, strength, wear resistance, and casting quality.

Compared with traditional carburizing methods, modern Carbon Raiser offers:

  • Faster dissolution in molten metal

  • Higher carbon recovery rate

  • Lower impurity introduction

  • More stable metallurgical performance


Why Carbon Raiser Is Essential in Metallurgy

During steelmaking and casting, carbon is inevitably lost due to oxidation, slag reactions, and high-temperature exposure. Insufficient carbon can lead to:

  • Reduced strength and hardness

  • Poor machinability

  • Inconsistent microstructure

  • Increased rejection rates

Using a high-quality Carbon Raiser helps metallurgical operators:

  • Accurately adjust carbon content

  • Improve molten metal cleanliness

  • Reduce alloy consumption costs

  • Achieve repeatable production quality

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between Carbon Raiser and Recarburizer?

They refer to the same type of product. “Carbon Raiser” emphasizes carbon content adjustment, while “Recarburizer” highlights its role in restoring lost carbon.

How is Carbon Raiser added during steelmaking?

It can be added directly into the furnace or ladle, depending on the process stage and desired carbon recovery efficiency.

Which particle size should I choose?

Smaller particles dissolve faster, while larger particles provide more controlled carbon release. Selection depends on furnace type and process conditions.

Can Carbon Raiser replace graphite?

In many applications, high-quality graphitized carbon raiser can partially or fully replace natural or synthetic graphite.
