Decarburization (or decarbonization) is the process opposite to carburization, namely the reduction of carbon content. ==Electrical steel== Electrical steel is one material that uses decarburization in its production. To prevent the atmospheric gases from reacting with the metal itself, electrical steel is annealed in an atmosphere of nitrogen, hy...
