Materials Evaluations in an Experimental Blast Furnace.

PB85172989

Publication Date	1984
Personal Author	Woolf, P. L.
Page Count	60
Abstract	Seven evaluation tests with blast furnace iron-bearing burden materials are described. The effects of pellet strength, fines in the burden, decreasing slag volume, pellet size, eliminating stone with superfluxed sinter, and eliminating stone by prefluxing the pellets were determined. Fluxed pellets and fluxed sinter made with the same ore fines were compared. The tests were conducted under cooperative agreements between the Bureau of Mines and North American steel companies during a research program on experimental blast furnaces at Bruceton, PA, conducted in the years 1958 to 1967. The objectives were to improve blast furnace practice, expand and develop understanding of the operation and theory, quantify the effects of changes, and explore the limitations of operability.
