Abstract

Ispat Mexicana (IMEXSA), a member of the ISPAT group, produces steel slabs using direct-reduced iron (DRI) as the main feedstock for the electric arc furnace (EAF). Its improvements in direct-reduced iron metallization and carbon content had mainly contributed to increased productivity and are essential in controlling refractory life. This paper reviews the meltshop performance as it relates to the steelmaking process, as well as to DRI quality and metallurgical practices, which contributed to increased productivity in this plant.
