Investigation of Surface, Microstructural, Physical and Metallurgical Properties of Domestic and Imported Pellets

Öz

Low-grade iron ores (> 50% Fe content) are primarily enriched in order to make these ores available at the blast furnace. The most widely used method of agglomeration after enrichment is pelletizing. In this study, structural, surface, physical and metallurgical properties of three different pellet types (one domestic and two imported) have been determined. The surface morphologies, element and compound analysis of pellets were performed with SEM, XRF and XRD devices. Size of pellets were determined by using different size of sieves. Moisture contents of pellets were calculated. RUL test was done for determination of reduction of pellets at under load. Abrasion index and disintegration index of pellets were observed with tumbler test. Furthermore, free swelling index and reduction-disintegration index of pellets were determined. At the end of the research, properties of three different pellets provided by Kardemir A.Ş. were compared. Also, heat treatment was applied to samples for investigating variance of porosity quantity and phase transforms of pellets. The results concluded that domestic pellet has better chemical content than imported pellets. However, metallurgical properties of domestic pellet should be developed to use domestic pellet in blast furnace separately.
