High Silicon Steel Decarb
High Silicon Steel Decarb
(OP)
I am an intern at a company that melts and rolls many different grades of non-stainless steel. We have had some consistent issues with de-carb in some high-silicon steels (particularly 1% or higher Si). The grades we melted with this issue also typically have .40% + carbon.
Do high Si steels all have this sensitivity, or am I missing something?

we cast into 40'+ billets, and anneal after rolling. We pump in some type of inert atmosphere. I can get more specific information if that would help.

I would be more specific than relying on a general statement above. Better check on how effective this inert atmosphere is because simply relying on elevated silicon to explain increased decarburization could be sending you down the wrong path.

I do have the book. Chapter 6 Steel Heat Treatment was written by Božidar Liščić. There are 33 references for that chapter, but none appear to be directly linked to that section on decarburization.
