Metallurgical coal

Coking coal for coke making and blast furnace performance.

Coking coal is selected for its ability to carbonize into coke, providing both fuel and reducing-agent performance in integrated steelmaking.

Coking coal blend roles
How each coal type contributes to a steelmaking blend.

Hard coking coal85%-90%20%-25%>60%Backbone of the blend; provides maximum structural strength
Medium coking coal80%-85%25%-32%50%-60%High fluidity; helps bind other coals during heating
