What is deoxidant?

Deoxidant is a substance that is added to a material to remove oxygen or prevent oxidation. Deoxidants are commonly used in the metalworking industry to prevent the oxidation of metals during the manufacturing process. They can also be used in other industries, such as food manufacturing, to prevent the spoilage of food by oxidation. Common deoxidants include carbon, manganese, and silicon. The use of deoxidants can improve the quality and strength of the final product, by reducing the risk of defects caused by oxidation.
