deoxidizer
Metal purifying agent
A deoxidizer is a substance that removes oxygen from something, typically molten metal during manufacturing.
In steelmaking, deoxidizers like aluminum or silicon are added to prevent unwanted oxygen from creating bubbles or weakening the final product.
The term applies broadly to any agent that extracts or neutralizes oxygen in chemical processes.
