Problems and prospects of carbonaceous reducing agents in ferro alloys production M. Subramanian C. N. Harman* ABSTRACT The paper emphasizes the need for development of special carbon reductants for ferro- alloy production. Various physical and chemical properties desired for the carbonaceous reduc- tants are discussed as compared to their present availability and usage in ferro-alloy production. Establishment of LTC coke plant based on washed coals and production of formed coke should be considered to meet the requirement of ferro-alloy industry. Washed coal with low phosphorus and ash contents will not only help in producing quality ferro alloys but also contri- ...
Manufacturing process Stage 1 – the melt shop Recognised as a reference for sustainable development, the production of steel starts with the melting of scrap. At the melt shop, the chemical composition of the stainless steel grade is determined. With a capacity of 2 million tonnes, Stainless Europe’s plants have a competitive advantage. Scrap Slab Scrap Slab Oxygen Argon Oxygen Argon Using an electric arc furnace with a melting capacity of up The molten metal is then transferred to the converter. The liquid steel is then cooled and solidified during the to 160 tonnes, the raw material (recycled stainless ...
