Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do Ferro-Carbon balls improve BOF efficiency?
They increase the end-point temperature by approximately 1.4°C per kg/ton and reduce steel material consumption by 1.2kg/ton, leading to significant energy and cost savings.
Q: When is the best time to add the Ferro-Carbon balls in the converter?
It is recommended to add the balls after the loading of scrap and before starting the blow to ensure optimal dissolution and carbon distribution.
Q: What is the recommended dosage for Ferro-Carbon balls?
The total amount added should not be less than 15kg/ton, with additions of 2-3kg/ton per time, depending on the temperature and slag melting conditions.
Q: How does this product contribute to "clean steel"?
Our Ferro-Carbon balls are manufactured with very low trace element content, preventing the introduction of impurities into the melt.
Q: Can the chemical composition be customized?
Yes, while we provide standard specifications (Fe≥40%, C≥25%), we can adjust the composition to meet your specific request.
Q: How should we optimize the loading process in the BOF?
We recommend tracking actual performance data and conducting statistics during the initial experiment to optimize loading time and quantity based on your converter's condition.
