A hearth furnace for producing metallic iron material has a furnace housing having a drying/preheat zone , a conversion zone , a fusion zone , and optionally a cooling zone , the conversion zone is between the drying/preheat zone and the fusion zone. A moving hearth is positioned within the furnace housing. A hood or separation barrier within at least a portion of the conversion zone , fusion zone or both separates the fusion zone into an upper region and a lower region with the lower region adjacent the hearth and the upper region adjacent the lower region and spaced from the hearth. An injector introduces a gaseous reductant into the lower region adjacent the hearth. A combustion region may be formed above the hood or separation barrier.

12/444505
Inventors:
David Englund - Bovey MN, US
Rodney Bleifuss - Grand Rapids MN, US
Iwao Iwasaki - Grand Rapids MN, US
Donald Fosnacht - Hermantown MN, US

Bradford True - Charlotte NC, US
Assignee:
Nu-Iron Technology, LLC - Charlotte NC
International Classification:
C21B 11/08
US Classification:
75484, 75503
Abstract:
A hearth furnace for producing metallic iron material has a furnace housing with a drying/preheat zone capable of providing a drying/preheat atmosphere for reducible material, a conversion zone capable of providing a reducing atmosphere for reducible material, a fusion zone capable of providing an atmosphere to at least partially reduced metallic iron material, and optionally a cooling zone capable of providing a cooling atmosphere for reduced material containing metallic iron material. A hearth is movable within the furnace housing in a direction through the drying/preheat zone , then the conversion zone , then the fusion zone , and then the cooling zone. A separation barrier is positioned within at least a portion of the conversion zone , the separation barrier separating the conversion zone into a combustion region and a reducing region with the reducing region adjacent the hearth and the combustion region adjacent the reducing region and spaced from the hearth.

Fluid Flow Control Structure For Tundish

View page
US Patent:
45911355, May 27, 1986
Filed:
Sep 27, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/654738
Inventors:
Donald R. Fosnacht - Crown Point IN
Masood A. Tindyala - Highland IN
Assignee:
Inland Steel Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
C21C 106
US Classification:
266275
Abstract:
An elongated tundish for the continuous strand casting of molten metal has a plurality of outlet openings arranged in a row extending in the longitudinal direction of the tundish. There is an elongated dam extending in said longitudinal direction between the row of outlet openings and the location of impact, on the tundish bottom, of a ladle nozzle stream of molten metal. The dam provides uniform residence times in the tundish for molten metal exiting the tundish at inner and outer outlet openings in the row of openings. Fluid flow control structure is located between the dam and the tundish side wall adjacent the row of outlet openings to avoid a dead zone in that region.

Method For Recycling Oily Mill Scale

View page
US Patent:
45854750, Apr 29, 1986
Filed:
Oct 23, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/314107
Inventors:
Donald R. Fosnacht - Merrillville IN
Assignee:
Inland Steel Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
C21C 7068
US Classification:
75 512
Abstract:
Oily mill scale recovered from steel manufacturing operations downstream of a refining stage for molten steel is recycled to the refining stage. Coarse particles of mill scale are removed in a pre-screening operation, the mill scale is mixed and blended with a binder, and the mixture is agglomerated into shapes, such as briquettes, using external mechanical pressure. The agglomerated shapes are introduced into molten metal containing excessive carbon, where the shapes act as a coolant and the iron oxide in the mill scale reacts with some of the carbon. The oily mill scale is neither deoiled nor ground more finely prior to introduction into the molten metal, and all processing of the mill scale is conducted under ambient conditions of temperature, pressure and atmosphere. The agglomerated shapes may be aged prior to introduction into the molten metal.
