Sintering Services: Raw Material and Sinter Tests/Pot Tests

The sintering services provided by Primetals Technologies are vital for producing high-quality sintered products in the steel industry. These comprehensive services encompass the entire sintering process, from raw material preparation to sinter tests and pot tests, ensuring optimal performance and product quality.

The foundation of sintering services from Primetals Technologies lies in carefully selecting and preparing raw materials. Recognizing that the quality of raw materials directly impacts the final sintered product, Primetals Technologies employs rigorous testing and analysis to ensure that only high-quality materials are used. A team of experts conducts detailed assessments of the raw materials' chemical composition, particle size distribution, and moisture content. This meticulous approach guarantees that the raw materials meet the stringent standards for high-quality sintering.

Sinter Tests

Once the raw materials are prepared, the sintering services include comprehensive sinter tests designed to evaluate their behavior during the sintering process. By simulating actual sintering conditions, Primetals Technologies can accurately predict the materials' performance and make necessary adjustments to optimize the process. The state-of-the-art testing facilities allow for a wide range of sinter tests, including basicity tests, reducibility tests, and strength tests, providing valuable insights into the quality and performance of the sintered products.

Pot Tests

Pot tests are small-scale simulations of the sintering process that provide valuable data on the behavior of the raw materials under controlled conditions. These tests help identify potential issues and allow necessary adjustments before scaling to full production. Primetals Technologies conducts pot tests to ensure that the sintering process is optimized for maximum efficiency and quality.
