Rimmed Steel
Steel
This type of steel is produced during ingot casting, with the resulting ingot having a very pure surface layer, or rim. This feature is due to the absence or near absence of a deoxidising agent during steel production, which allows carbon monoxide to be formed from the oxygen and carbon in the melt. As this gas migrates to the surface, other elements (eg.carbon, phosphorus and sulphur) gravitate towards the centre of the ingot to leave a much purer layer or rim on the outside. After hot rolling this steel has a good surface finish which is low in carbon.
