Magnetic induction assisted levitation of metallized particles in sintered dela Iron ore pellets

Abstract

Degree of metallization is on important characteristic of reduced iron ore pellets when determining its applicability in the iron and steel making industry. If the degree of metallization is about 95 -97% induction furnace could be used in making alloy steels. If the degree of metallization is less, it may be employed in an arc furnace. In the present research a simple and economical method has been suggested to examine the degree of metallization of reduced iron ore pellets by magnetic induction assisted levitation. This may be adopted to quantify the degree of metallization of reduced pellets after a suitable calibration. Further research is in progress
