The principle of Oxidizing elements use in stainless steel melting and refining are oxygen and air. The pure oxygen with purity of 99.5% is use for decarburization and refining. Atmosphere oxygen in form of air is also used. Nitrogen present in air is advantageous in some of 200 series stainless stains where nitrogen is required as an alloying element, but it is highly undesirable in low interstitial ferritic grades. Mill scale and iron oxide in form of lumpy ore can be also used as oxidizing agent. Both of these contain about 25% oxygen by weight. They can be selectively used to suit the specific process requirement.

Can cesium react with all elements?
No. Cesium reacts with a number of nonmetals, bu not with other metals or metalloids. Cesium is a powerful reducing agent and will react strongly with oxidizing substances.
Is nitrogen oxidizing agent?
no
Are bases oxidizing agents?
Whether something is an oxidizing or reducing agent is not dependent on whether it is an acid or a base. Some bases can act as oxidizing agents while others are reducing agents. Some can act as either oxidizers or reducers depending on the reaction.
Is nitrogen an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent?
Reducing
What is the strongest oxidizing agent of the following set FeO Fe2O3 Fe3O4 FeO4-2?
The strongest oxidizing agent of them is FeO4-2 ion, which is called Ferrate. Its oxidizing powers come from Iron in its +6 oxidation state. These ions are even stronger oxidizers than Permanganates or Nitrates.
Are alkali metal elements strong oxidizing agents?
Yes, it is true.
What is the elements in actinides series Incompatible with?
They are Incompatible with STRONG oxidizing agent, and STRONG acids.
What are the constituents of fire?
The three contituents of fire include oxidizing agent, heat and fuel. The oxidizing agent is usually oxygen in most cases. A fire occurs when the three elements are present in the right proportion.
How does oxygen supports burning?
Oxygen is an oxidizing element, in that it accepts electrons. Oxidizing elements are essential in combustion reactions as reactants. Once the amount of oxygen runs out, the reaction stops, therefore it supports burning by allowing the reaction to carry forward.
What part of the periodic table contains strong oxidizing agents?
Transition metal compounds, especially of first period (principally Mn with 7+ and Cr with 6+ charge).
Is N2 an oxidizing agent?
Nitrogen is not an oxidizing agent.
What is the oxidizing agent in butane combustion?
The oxidizing agent is oxygen.
Is NaCl a common oxidizing agent?
Sodium chloride is not an oxidizing agent.
Are antiseptics oxidizing agents?
Not necessary, but most of the oxidizing agents are antiseptic
What is the effect of replacing iodine with other oxidizing agents?
The effect of replacing iodine with other oxidizing agents is that the substance being stained will not be stained. Iodine is the only oxidizing agent to dye the material.
What is the definition for oxidizing agents?
The meaning of oxidizing is generally able to oxydate, to cause an oxydation.
Can cesium react with all elements?
No. Cesium reacts with a number of nonmetals, bu not with other metals or metalloids. Cesium is a powerful reducing agent and will react strongly with oxidizing substances.
