Popis: The current intensive development of steelmaking is being impeded by a scarcity of pure scrap. The potential to replace pure scrap with metallized raw materials that are naturally alloyed with vanadium and titanium, such as annealed unfluxed titanomagnetite pellets, could facilitate the achievement of key objectives in metallurgical development, particularly in the smelting of electric steel. The objective of this research was to produce annealed and metallized pellets from titanomagnetite concentrate under laboratory conditions, with the intention of further processing them as a commercial product in a blast furnace or as an intermediate product for the production of hot briquetted iron (HBI). The results demonstrate that pellets derived from titanomagnetite concentrate exhibit sufficient compressive strength (up to 300 kg/pellet) and a degree of metallization exceeding 90%, which aligns with the requirements for electric steelmaking. The suitability of pellets derived from titanomagnetite concentrate for use in both blast furnaces and metallization processes has been corroborated.
