Abstract

In a test melts, high-carbon ferrochrome is produced from chrome sinter and chrome-ore fines in an arc electrofurnace. Two types of sinter with the best performance—the best sintering rate, strength, and product yield—are studied. It is demonstrated by experimental melts that high-carbon ferrochrome can be produced from proposed agglomerates. An estimation of smelting parameters for production of high-carbon ferrochrome is made.
