New Method Predicts Iron Ore Behavior
3 min read
A team led by Shungo Natsui at Tohoku University, with partners including Tata Steel Europe and AIST, developed a method using high-energy X-ray CT and Moving Particle Hydrodynamics-Implicit simulations to predict iron ore pellet deformation. Published in Scientific Reports in 2026, the study analyzes conditions at 1,300°C, 1,400°C, and 1,550°C to improve blast furnace efficiency for lower-carbon steelmaking.
