In the field of metallurgy, there are many factors that influence final quality cast iron. These mainly charge materials, chemical composition and metallurgical preparation up to casting process. Even small deviations from processing lead fluctuations in melt occurrence defects. Charge materials have a significant impact on iron, especially steel scrap, which is increasingly used an economic ec...

Abstract The pressure on the steel industry to reduce its carbon footprint has led discussions replace coke as main reductant for iron ore and turn natural gas, bio-syngas or hydrogen. Such a major transition from blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace route, direct reduction-electric arc production would drastically increase demand both suitable pellets high-quality scrap. value an EAF plant SiO 2...
