Study on the Index of Metallurgical Coke Strength after Reaction
The blast furnace coke plays four roles as exothermic agent, reducer, carburizer and framework. The former three roles can be played by other fuels, but the role as framework still can’t be played by other fuels by now. In order to ensure its skeleton role, it must be sure that the coke has enough high-temperature strength. This research uses KSJ decarbonizing electric furnace, drum-I and high temperature compressive testing machine to furthest simulate the coke’s actual actions in the blast furnace. The research indicates that comparing with the reactivity and strength index after reaction of coke GB4000-1996, the blast furnace coke’s high temperature compressive strength under a certain temperature and a certain carbon loss rate can give a more comprehensive evaluation of the quality of coke.
