Alloy Particle Size Distribution Optimizes Steelmaking Reaction Efficiency

 

Particle size distribution greatly affects the dissolution speed, reaction efficiency and element absorption rate in steelmaking. Large lumps dissolve slowly for electric arc furnaces to avoid overheating. Granular alloys with moderate specific surface area work well for basic oxygen furnaces. Fine powder reacts rapidly for ladle injection and final refining. We classify products into lump, granule and powder with narrow particle size range. Custom particle sizes are available for automatic feeding and powder injection systems. Optimized particle size improves element utilization and stabilizes the whole smelting process.
