Foundry coke
is used in blast furnace and used for copper, lead, zinc, titanium, antimony,
mercury, and other non-ferrous metal smelting blast furnaces. It is a source of
heat and helps maintain the required carbon content of the metal product.
Foundry coke production requires lower temperatures and longer times than blast
furnace coke. Foundry Coke has large block, low reactivity, low porosity,
significant shatter strength, low ash, and sulfur content.
The foundry coke market has witnessed a significant growth owing to factors such as high growth in the chemical industry. Moreover, R&D activity and strict government regulations provides a huge market opportunity for the key players operating in the foundry coke market. However, rising regulations on the hazardous chemicals is projected to hamper the overall growth of the foundry coke market.
The global
foundry coke market is segmented on the basis of product and application. On
the basis of type, the global foundry coke market is divided into ash content
8%, 8% - ash content 10% and ash content less than 10%. On the basis of
application, the global foundry coke market is divided into automotive parts
casting, machinery casting and material treatment.
