In the manufacturing of stainless steel, oxidation of carbon and chromium cannot be possible.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was asked in an interview.This question is from Melting of Steel and Stainless Steel in division Foundry Introduction & Materials of Casting-Forming-Welding II

Answer»

Right OPTION is (b) False

Explanation: In the manufacturing of stainless steel, both chromium and carbon can be oxidized due to decarburization of MOLTEN casting. Carbon oxidation in COMPARING with chromium oxidation may occur at TEMPERATURE above 1220 ⁰C in the pure state conditions. But EXPERIMENTALLY, carbon oxidation can occur at temperature above 1800 ⁰C than that of chromium.
