Choice of Binder and Optimization of Slag-Forming Mixture Granulation Technology to Improve Granule Strength

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

A procedure is described for qualitative evaluation of the effect of binders on granulated slag-forming mixture (SFM) strength. A relationship is established for slip density and finished granulate bulk density on water content. Industrial tests are conducted for a new binder and a test batch of granulated SFM is prepared with a low proportion of dusty fraction for pouring steel in a CBCM at MMK.
