Abstract
Using the various sinter raw materials, the main controlling factors for the granulation and the bedpermeability of sinter raw materials were investigated.
The results were obtained as follows:
1) The particle size, the water-absorbability and the added water content were the main controlling factors for the granulation and the bed-permeability of sinter raw materials.
2) By the use of these factors, the granulation and the bed-permeability of the sinter raw materials were uniformly formulated with the numerical model.
3) This model simulation was in good agreement with the observed values.
This model can estimate the suitability of material combination for sinter.
