And when the carbon source is heated at a low temperature, the organic resin consumes the residual low-content oxygen to produce carbon monoxide, and the carbon monoxide also has reducibility in subsequent high-temperature reactions, so that the stability of a reducing atmosphere is ensured, and the carbon source is also ensured.
