Annealing salts are usually used as part of a 2-salt system in combination with an additive, otherwise decarburization and oxidation will take place with increasing treatment temperature. We are offering two different classes of additives.

The cyanide-free products bind successfully oxygen containing compounds and ensure the inert character of the liquid. They can be used up to a temperature of 1100 °C

The second class of additives gives the melt a certain carbon activity which depends on whose concentration and the nature of the base salt. However, due to the short treatment times the carbon activity is allowed to vary considerably from the carbon content of the steel and has not to adjusted within closer limits
