The axial flow blower has the advantages of high flow rate, high efficiency, wide operation area, light weight, small size, etc., which can be adapted to the operating requirements of the blast furnace with…

Blast Furnace Materials System

The public and auxiliary facilities of blast furnace ironmaking mainly includes storage and transportation of raw materials and fuel facilities, thermal facilities, gas facilities, water supply and drainage facilities and HVAC facilities. At project preliminary design, the storage and transportation facilities for raw materials and fuel are divided five sectors.…

Blast Furnace Emission Control

Reducing pollutant emissions is a significant challenge for all ironmaking plants. The key is to control the emissions from processes that generate large amounts of discharges. From the initial design phase of a new project or the reconstruction of a blast furnace, it is crucial to carefully consider suitable solutions…

Small Blast Furnaces Energy Consumption

The fuel ratio in small blast furnaces exceeds that of large blast furnaces, a phenomenon determined by fundamental principles in metallurgical physics and chemistry. Small blast furnaces, characterized by their squat design, have shorter material columns compared to large blast furnaces. Consequently, the gas heating of the charge is insufficient,…

Ferritic stainless steel

Ferritic stainless steel is known for its high corrosion and oxidation resistance, but it has lower plasticity and toughness. Common grades include 409 and 430, which are mainly used in automotive and construction applications. Magnetic Properties: Ferritic stainless steel is magnetic. Thermal Expansion: The thermal expansion rate of ferritic stainless…

Transformation of Single Cold Rolling Mill

A single cold rolling mill can handle small-scale rolling tasks with lower initial equipment investment. Its production organization is more flexible, allowing for quick adjustments to specifications based on market demand. The old system’s operation and production process relied heavily on operator input setting and field adjustments, with fault diagnosis…
