These are a key feed for metallurgical operations while iron extraction sets these limits, which include scarcity of metallurgical coke, poor environmental impact, and high production cost. Thus, the non-contact direct reduction process of DRIs has the potential to significantly reduce carbon deposition and CO₂ emission from the ironmaking process. This work produced sponge iron from commercially acquired hematite ore using an alternative reducing agent (i.e. charcoal) under specified isothermal conditions. Comparative analysis of reaction kinetics models including Ginstein−Brounshtein and Shrinking core models was also performed to ascertain the resistances that control the reaction rate for reduction degree up to 98.1%. The reduction kinetics were found to be described by reaction control time and activation energies based on a shrinking core model as the reduction time lasted for 120 min at temperatures 843–1273 K. At temperatures above 973–1073 K, the rate-limiting step was found to be solely an interfacial chemical reaction process, with an apparent activation energy of 196.1 kJ/mol. In addition, a slowing trend was observed for iron ore sample sizes 10–20 mm as a result of ash layer infiltration around the inner-core structure of the DRI metal matrix. The DRI morphological characteristics were performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Electron Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) to ascertain the mineralogical and morphological properties of the DRI samples. The XRF analysis confirms that the raw iron ore sample is hematite. Its iron content is 70.04% metallic iron (TFe) which has 83.59% Fe₂O₃ The SEM/EDS image also revealed the presence of micropores on the DRI morphology. This indicates that the reduction ratio and swelling extent rise with the temperature and time. This happens for all DRI sizes. However, the EDS result confirms the presence of gangue elements within the DRI metal matrix and mineralogical structure. The DRI contains very high silicon content up to 33.90%. So, a fluxing experiment is needed using limestone (CaCO₃) or quicklime (CaO) quicklime to remove gangue (silicate, aluminate) from the DRI matrix. At the set reduction temperatures, the largest metallization degree of 93.05% at 1273 K for a reduction time of 120 min was achieved. This showed that the overall reduction process still follows the expected chronological order since the NDR process uses CO gas from preheated charcoal. This makes DRI be produced from raw hematite under non-contact reduction bases. Therefore, the NDR technique offers a viable option for sponge iron production in modern-day iron and steelmaking processes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Alloys and Metallurgical Systems","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100082"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949917824000294/pdfft?md5=2765cb76262407c58b3d5944b833171c&pid=1-s2.0-S2949917824000294-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141131392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tribological behavior of the HVAF coated sample, characterized by a thickness of about 200 µm, ∼6% porosity and a Vickers hardness of 357 HV_0.5, was assessed in a sphere-on-plate configuration, revealing a specific wear rate of approximately 5 ×10⁻⁴ mm³∙N⁻¹m⁻¹.

The corrosion resistance of HVAF coatings was evaluated in 0.6 M NaCl solution and compared with the results obtained for the crystalline Fe₆₈Cr₈Mo₄Nb₄B₁₆ ingot, produced by melting in an induction furnace, and for the AISI 1020 steel substrate. The HVAF coating showed satisfactory corrosion resistance compared to the carbon steel substrate and the crystalline ingot, with the highest corrosion potential, <em>E</em>_{<em>corr</em>}, values (−533 mV_SCE) and the lowest corrosion current density, <em>i</em>_{<em>corr</em>}, (10⁻⁶ A∙cm⁻²) followed by a clear passivation window upon anodic polarization in 0.6 M NaCl solution.

While variations in the deposition area size influenced the residual stress, consistent stress levels were observed at the same measurement points across different area sizes. The deposition process was simulated using FEA, which confirmed that stress behavior is influenced by melting and solidification cycles.
