In the steel industry, using high-quality raw materials plays an important role in optimizing the production process. One of these materials is cold briquetted sponge iron, which, with its unique characteristics, has gained a special place in steelmaking plants. This article provides a comprehensive introduction to cold briquettes, their production methods, advantages, and applications

 

What is Cold Briquetted Iron

 

Cold Briquetted Iron (CBI) is a type of compressed material produced by compressing sponge iron at ambient temperature. This type of briquetting, which is part of the cold briquetting process, is done without the application of heat, resulting in a product with high density, adequate strength, and remarkable metallic purity

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cold Briquette Production Process

 

 

:Cold briquette production is carried out through the direct reduction process of sponge iron. The process involves

 

First, the reduced sponge iron is produced

This material is then mixed with some water and a special binder

The final mixture is compressed under high pressure in a briquetting machine

The end result is a cold briquette with high physical and chemical resistance

 

 

Advantages of Cold Briquetted Sponge Iron

 

High resistance to fragmentation and wear

High chemical stability and minimal metallic grade loss

High density (over 4.5 grams per cubic centimeter)

High metallic grade (over 96%)

No need for pelletizing before use

Ability to recycle metallic waste, including pellet fines

 

 

 

 

 

Applications of Cold Briquettes in the Steel Industry

 

 

:Cold briquettes play a key role in optimizing melting and steel production processes. Some of the main applications include

 

A suitable alternative to scrap in electric arc and induction furnaces

Used in blast furnaces to reduce coke consumption and increase efficiency

Suitable for producing alloy steels with minimal impurities

Used as a coolant in steelmaking converters

 

 

Why is the Use of Cold Briquettes Recommended

 

Given the rising cost of raw materials and the need for high-quality steel production, using cold briquetted sponge iron can be an economical and technical choice for steel plants. This material, in addition to reducing production costs, significantly improves the final steel quality

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conclusion

 

Cold briquettes, with features such as high density, adequate physical resistance, and high metallic purity, are a very suitable option for replacing scrap in steelmaking industries.
