CAC has various meanings in the Chemistry category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of CAC in Chemistry.
In the form of calcium silicide acts as a deoxidizer and degasifier when added to steel. Recent developments have found that carbon and alloy steels modified with small amounts of calcium show improved machinability and longer tool life. Transverse ductility and toughness are also enhanced. or A scale forming element found in boiler feed water.or Bauxite fired to high temperatures. or Symbol:"Ca" Atomic Number:"20" Atomic Mass: 40.06amu. Member of the alkaline earth metals group.
ChemistryAn essential alloying addition in steel. As the carbon content of steel increases, so does the strength and hardness. To optimize the ductility and toughness for a given strength level the steel would be quenched and tempered. The majority of carbon would then be in the form of fine carbides. Carbon besides increasing the strength and hardness also increases hardenability.
