Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When is the best time to add Ferro-Carbon balls in the BOF process?
They should be added to the converter after the scrap has been loaded and before the blowing process begins.
Q: What is the recommended total dosage for Ferro-Carbon balls?
The total amount added in bunches should generally not be less than 15kg per ton of steel.
Q: How does this product contribute to "Clean Steel"?
Due to its low content of trace elements, it prevents the introduction of impurities, ensuring higher steel purity.
Q: Can the chemical composition be customized?
Yes, while we have standard parameters (Fe ≥40%, C ≥25%), we can provide custom compositions as requested by the client.
Q: How does it affect the final temperature of the furnace?
Adding 1kg/ton of Ferro-Carbon balls typically increases the end-point temperature of the BOF by approximately 1.4 degrees.
Q: How should the addition be distributed during the process?
It is recommended to add 2-3kg/ton each time, depending on the current temperature and the state of slag melting.
