Abstract

See full text

The process feeds a mixture of scrap metal, chromite, flux materials, carbonaceous material and wood chips to a submerged arc furnace to make a base iron suitable for iron and steel purposes. The mixture contains about 1-60% chromite, about 1 to 20% flux materials, about 5 to 35% carbonaceous material, about 0-10% wood chips, all based on the weight of scrap in the mixture. By maintaining the charge in the furnace, good energy efficiencies are obtained.
