Iron Slag Scrap



Iron slag scrap is a byproduct generated during the production of iron and steel in blast furnaces or steelmaking processes. It consists of non-metallic residues, primarily composed of silicates, aluminosilicates, and calcium compounds, formed when molten slag cools and solidifies. Slag is separated from molten iron during smelting and can be processed into various forms, such as granules or aggregates, for reuse or sale.
- Key Characteristics:
- Composition: Varies based on the production process but typically includes silica (SiO₂), calcium oxide (CaO), magnesium oxide (MgO), and aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃).
- Types: Blast furnace slag, steel slag, and ladle slag, each with distinct properties and applications.
- Appearance: Glassy or rocky material, often gray or black, available in crushed or granulated forms.
