Foundry Coke is an industrial byproduct of the production process that transforms metallurgical coal into coke, a carbon material used in blast furnaces to produce molten iron, a key ingredient in the manufacturing of steel. The global Foundry Coke Market is projected to grow at an impressive rate in the next few years, mainly due to rising construction activity across many regions. Additionally, a surge in industrial activities, especially in developing countries, is expected to boost the demand for steel, thus bolstering the growth of the global Foundry Coke market.
A number of major players in the global Foundry Coke sector hold a significant share in the market. The industry is renowned for its strong production capability, supply-chain network, and R&D. They are also known for their continuous innovation and expansion, thereby contributing to the overall growth of the global Foundry Coke market. ArcelorMittal as well as Vedanta Resource Limited, OKK Koksovny a.s. Jiangsu Surun Highcarbon or GR RESOURCE are some of the major names.
Anthracite, a metamorphosed coal type that contains high amounts of carbon, is extracted in many countries around the world. It is extracted in various countries around the world, including China, Vietnam, South Africa, some CIS states, and Russia. The majority of anthracite used is standard (SG), which is primarily used for power generation. The remainder of the anthracite extracted is high grade, or ultra-high grade. These grades are used mostly in the metalworking sector and can only be exported from Russia.
UHG/UHG is a fuel that can be used for sintering. It has a DTGmax higher than SG, but a TGmean lower. The SG anthracite has a higher combustion reactivity.
The calcined material, prior to being added to the mix, should be very fine. Preferably, the grain size should not exceed 80 microns. The addition is carried out at temperatures ranging from 1000 to 14000C.
Ash content is the defining factor of quality for anthracite in foundry applications. A low ash content guarantees improved metallurgical performance during the casting process. Anthracite undergoes a series tests to determine its quality. These tests are intended to determine anthracite's reactivity, and its reaction with other metals when it is cast. The results of the tests are documented in a test document, which is then forwarded to the customer. Specialized software can be used to analyze the test reports in order for them to be assessed and ensure the anthracite meets the requirements of the intended use. The data gathered can be used to calculate anthracite's value. Anthracite intended for use in foundries usually sells at a higher cost than metallurgical coke or fuel. This is partly because metallurgical coke and fuel anthracite are of lower quality. Foundry anthracite has better metallurgical properties.
