Iron heated above 900°C again starts binding with the carbon monoxide in the hot furnace. Therefore the same carbon rich and hot environment which produced the iron in the fist place, now turns it into steel. In case you are fond of chemical ...

The use of a disc pelletizer is a popular alternative approach to pelletizing iron ore fines, as this offers more control over pellet size and produces a more refined pellet product. Additionally, this approach offers significantly ...

view moreThe process of manufacturing iron advanced with the extraction of iron from the ore. First, the ore was crushed into small pieces, which were then roasted to concentrate the iron content. Thereafter, the roasted ore went into the blast furnace for smelting.
