Importance of Iron Ore Testing

  • The iron content is the most critical factor in determining the quality of the iron ore. Higher iron content (usually above 58%) means more efficient production of steel and better economic value.
  • To evaluate the ore's suitability for use in blast furnaces and other steelmaking processes.
  • High levels of these impurities can hinder the efficiency of the blast furnace process and require additional fluxes. Lower impurity levels are desirable.
  • These elements negatively affect the quality of steel. Even trace amounts of sulfur and phosphorus can result in defects in the final steel product.
  • Ensuring impurities are within acceptable limits for producing high-quality steel.
