Researchers at TATA Steel Ltd. Target Mining and Metallurgy (Optimizing the Metallurgical Properties of Pellets Through Operational Trial Using Inconel Basket)

摘要

2022 JUL 1 (VerticalNews) – By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Mining & Minerals – Investigators discuss new findings in Mining and Metallurgy. According to news reporting from Bihar, India, by VerticalNews journalists, research stated, “In the current operational facility, due to the absence of pellet pot facility, a novel technique is developed wherein the pellets with different chemistries prepared in the laboratory are fired in an induration machine by placing them inside the Inconel baskets. In the present work, an attempt is made to optimize the pellet chemistry by developing 2 different flux pellets, viz., low basicity (B2: CaO/SiO2 = 0.3) pellets and high basicity (B2 = 0.9) pellets, and further the effects of basicity on pellet properties, viz., cold compressive strength, porosity, swelling index, reducibility index, and softening and melting temperature, are studied.”
