Low trace element content minimizes contaminants, facilitating the production of high-grade clean steel.
Adding 1kg/ton can increase the BOF end-point temperature by approximately 1.4 degrees.
Reduces steel material consumption by about 1.2kg/ton for every 1kg/ton of ferro-carbon added.
Allow for flexible addition in bunches (2-3kg/ton) based on slag melting and temperature.
Designed for addition after scrap loading and before blowing for maximum efficacy.
Easily adjustable loading times and amounts based on real-time converter performance data.
Standardized control of molten iron and scrap loading to ensure stable reactions.
Strategic addition after scrap loading and prior to blow initiation.
Optimized total addition not less than 15kg/ton to meet purity targets.
Real-time adjustment of 2-3kg/ton increments based on slag melting state.
Seamless integration with other bulk materials during the charging phase.
Continuous tracking of actual performance to optimize loading amount and time.
| Performance Metric | Standard Carbon Additives | Our Ferro-Carbon Balls |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature Gain | Baseline | +1.4°C per 1kg/ton |
| Material Savings | Standard Consumption | -1.2kg/ton steel material |
| Steel Purity | Standard Grade | Enhanced Clean Steel |
| Reaction Speed | Moderate | Rapid & Consistent |
| Operational Cost | Standard | Significantly Reduced |
The primary benefits include increasing the end-point temperature of the furnace and reducing the overall consumption of steel materials, leading to higher cost-efficiency.
They should be added after the scrap loading process is complete and immediately before the blowing process starts.
Due to the extremely low content of trace elements in our ferro-carbon balls, they minimize the introduction of impurities into the melt.
Yes, while we have standard specifications (Fe≥40%, C≥25%), we can provide customized compositions based on your specific requirements.
It is recommended that the total amount added in bunches should not be less than 15kg/ton, adjusted in 2-3kg/ton increments.
We recommend tracking actual performance data and conducting statistics during your initial trials to calibrate the timing and amount for your specific furnace.
