| Calcium carbide powder and magnesium granulates are used in the steel industry for desulphurisation or deoxidation purposes. |
| In pyrology, or analysis by fire, there are two general processes known as oxidation and deoxidation. |
| Carbon steel can be classified, according to various deoxidation practices, as rimmed, capped, semi-killed, or killed steel. |
| For deoxidation of carbon and low-alloy steels, aluminum, titanium, and zirconium are used. |
| Deoxidation of the metal frequently takes place in the ladle, leaving only a short time for the deoxidation products to be removed. |
| In a vacuum furnace, carbon is an excellent deoxidizer, and the deoxidation product, carbon monoxide gas, is continuously removed under vacuum. |
