Decarburization (or decarbonization) is the process opposite to carburization, namely the reduction of carbon content. The term is typically used in metallurgy, describing the reduction of the content of carbon in metals (usually steel). Decarburization occurs when the metal is heated to temperatures of 700°C or above when carbon in the metal reacts with gases containing oxygen or hydrogen.〔 Decarburization can be either advantageous or detrimental, depending on the application for which the metal will be used. It is thus both something that can be done intentionally as a step in a manufacturing process, or something that happens as a side effect of a process (such as rolling) and must be either prevented or later reversed (such as via a carburization step). The decarburization mechanism can be described as three distinct events: the reaction at the steel surface, the interstitial diffusion of carbon atoms and the dissolution of carbides within the steel. ==Chemical reactions== The most common reactions are: : also called the Boudouard reaction : : Other reactions are〔 : : : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「decarburization」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
