A method of drying and hot briquetting of cast iron particles.

摘要

In the hot briquetting of cast iron particles the cast iron particles are supplied to a furnace in which they are heated to the plastics range. Prior to reaching the furnace, carbon is added to the particles. The hot particles leaving the furnace are pressed into briquettes. The addition of carbon to the particles substantially increases the carbon content of the briquettes on furnace re-melt.
