About this product
Product information from the supplier.
Our premium Ferro-Carbon Balls are specifically engineered for Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) operations, providing a highly efficient method for carbon addition and temperature regulation. By utilizing a precision-controlled composition of iron and carbon, these balls ensure rapid dissolution and consistent performance, helping steel plants optimize their smelting process and enhance overall operational efficiency.
Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern metallurgical standards, our Ferro-Carbon Balls minimize impurity introduction while maximizing thermal output. Whether you are looking to increase end-point temperatures or reduce raw material consumption, our product offers a reliable, high-purity solution tailored for the production of high-quality clean steel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When is the best time to add Ferro-Carbon balls in the BOF process?
They should be added to the converter after the scrap has been loaded and before the blowing process begins.
Q: What is the recommended total dosage for Ferro-Carbon balls?
The total amount added in bunches should generally not be less than 15kg per ton of steel.
Q: How does this product contribute to "Clean Steel"?
Due to its low content of trace elements, it prevents the introduction of impurities, ensuring higher steel purity.
Q: Can the chemical composition be customized?
Yes, while we have standard parameters (Fe ≥40%, C ≥25%), we can provide custom compositions as requested by the client.
Q: How does it affect the final temperature of the furnace?
Adding 1kg/ton of Ferro-Carbon balls typically increases the end-point temperature of the BOF by approximately 1.4 degrees.
Q: How should the addition be distributed during the process?
It is recommended to add 2-3kg/ton each time, depending on the current temperature and the state of slag melting.
