How can carbon be killed?

Since Carbon is an element, it is never classified as 'living' or 'dead,' and thus can never be killed.

However, it is possible to change the nature carbon by adding or removing protons from the Carbon's nucleus. Since the number of protons in a nucleus determines the identity of an atom, this would effectively cause Carbon to turn into another element. This process is most commonly seen in the decay of Carbon-14, a radioactive form of Carbon that degrades into Nitrogen.

If you look in the 'related links' section, you can find a short article that describes the characteristics of all elements, which will probably be very helpful in further understanding why elements are never considered living entities. You will also find an article describing the process of Carbon-14 decay.

WHAT IS KILLED CARBON?

Killed Carbon Steel is a process of deoxidation that is performed during the steel making process.Normally, ASME B&PV Code requires steels that have 0.24% or greater carbon contents to be killed (fully de-oxidized) using either Al or Si additions, and especially those steels that fall under a forging grade.

Why methanol storage tanks are made of killed carbon steel?

Methanol is a corrosive substance that can react with some metals, causing degradation and potential leaks in storage tanks. Using killed carbon steel helps prevent impurities and gases from affecting the material's properties, making it more resistant to corrosion. Additionally, killed carbon steel has higher strength and durability, ensuring the integrity of the storage tank over time.


Is killed carbon steel made to fine grain practice?

Killed carbon steel is typically produced using fine grain practices. This involves adding deoxidizers, such as aluminum or silicon, during the steelmaking process, which helps to remove oxygen and promote a finer microstructure. The resulting fine grain structure enhances the steel's strength, toughness, and overall performance. Therefore, killed carbon steel is indeed associated with fine grain practices to improve its mechanical properties.
