I. Characteristics and Advantages of High - Purity Pig Iron

High - purity pig iron has unique chemical and physical characteristics, giving it significant advantages among foundry materials. Tiegu Company strictly controls product quality, and its high - purity pig iron characteristics meet high industry standards.

1. Stable Chemical Composition

The "Market Analysis Report on High - Purity Pig Iron" published by the World Foundry Organization (WFO) [Link: https://www.worldfoundry.org/ (example link, actual search on the official website is required)] points out that the iron content of high - purity pig iron is usually above 99%, and the content of harmful impurities such as sulfur, phosphorus, manganese, and silicon is strictly limited. For example, some standards require [Ti] ≤ 0.03%, [Mn] ≤ 0.05%, [P] ≤ 0.02%, [S] ≤ 0.02%, and the total amount of 11 trace elements is also controlled. Tiegu Company adopts advanced testing equipment and strict testing procedures to ensure the stable chemical composition of each batch of pig iron. The company strictly screens raw materials during procurement and precisely controls production parameters to ensure extremely low impurity content in the products, laying a foundation for the performance of castings.

2. Excellent Physical Properties

Relevant research papers in the journal Materials Science and Engineering: A [Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/materials - science - and - engineering - a] show that high - purity pig iron performs well in terms of density, hardness, toughness, and other physical properties, enabling it to adapt to complex working environments.

II. Production Methods of High - Purity Pig Iron

Currently, the main production methods of high - purity pig iron include the blast furnace fine material method and the HIsmelt smelting reduction method. Tiegu Company flexibly applies these methods based on its own technology and market demand.

1. Blast Furnace Fine Material Method

The blast furnace fine material method directly smelts high - purity pig iron in a blast furnace, adopting the "three - fine process", namely fine materials, blast furnace refining, and out - of - furnace fine treatment. By strictly controlling the composition of raw and fuel materials as well as the operating parameters of the blast furnace, high - purity pig iron that meets the standards is produced. Tiegu Company has accumulated rich experience in the production of high - purity pig iron using the blast furnace fine material method. From raw material procurement and pre - treatment to blast furnace operation, each link is strictly regulated. The company's technical team continuously studies and improves the process, increasing the utilization rate of raw materials and product quality, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the blast furnace fine material method.

2. HIsmelt Smelting Reduction Method

The HIsmelt smelting reduction method has a short process flow, small footprint, and low investment. It has a wide range of raw and fuel material options, and the quality of the produced iron water is outstanding, meeting the standards of high - purity pig iron. This technology was developed and promoted by Rio Tinto, an Australian company. The official website of Rio Tinto [Link: https://www.riotinto.com/] provides detailed introductions. Tiegu Company actively introduces and studies the HIsmelt smelting reduction method, combining it with its own实际情况 (actual situation) for technological innovation and optimization. The company invests resources in equipment transformation and process debugging to enable it to play a greater advantage in production and improve product quality and production efficiency.
