Elka Mehr Kimiya, a premier manufacturer of aluminum products based in northwest Iran, proudly offers Aluminum Rod 12, engineered specifically for oxygen removal in steel manufacturing. This page highlights the critical role of deoxidation, the effectiveness of Aluminum Wire Rod 12, and its many benefits for steel producers.

The Importance of Deoxidation in Steel Production

Deoxidation is essential for ensuring high-quality steel by removing dissolved oxygen, which can adversely affect the final product. Here’s why deoxidation matters:

• Enhanced Ductility and Toughness: Excess oxygen reduces steel’s ductility and toughness, leading to brittleness and a higher risk of cracking.
• Reduced Inclusions: Oxygen forms non-metallic inclusions within the steel matrix, weakening the material and causing surface imperfections.

Deoxidation is a crucial step in most steel production processes, especially for:

• Killed Steel: Requires full deoxidation for a dense, strong, and ductile product, used in construction, automotive, and machinery.
• Semi-Killed Steel: Undergoes partial deoxidation, balancing oxygen content for good weldability and surface finish, ideal for pipes and tubes.
• Capped Steel: Similar to semi-killed, with heavier deoxidation at the ingot’s top for a cleaner surface, used in sheet metal for stamping.

However, rimming steel intentionally retains some oxygen to create a specific surface finish, often used for car body panels.

Aluminum Rod 12: The Optimal Solution for Oxygen Removal

Elka Mehr Kimiya’s Aluminum Rod 12 excels in deoxidation. Aluminum has a high affinity for oxygen, forming stable aluminum oxide when added to molten steel. This oxide rises to the slag layer, effectively removing oxygen and enhancing steel quality.
