SUMMARY:Investigation on microstructure and elemental distribution in phases of an industrial sinter by various methods
DESCRIPTION:Sinter is the major iron-bearing burden material in many integrated steelworks worldwide. Therefore, the sinter quality is of crucial importance for the blast furnace operation. The sinter production is usually monitored by periodic testing of the chemistry and metallurgical properties. However, the sinter properties are dependent not only on the chemical composition, but also strongly on the phases present after sintering and cooling, 

Sinter has a multiphase microstructure. Some phases are also multicomponent systems. The amount and morphology of the crystalline phases, amorphous phases and pores play an important role in the sinter properties. Experimentally, it is not possible to cover all these features with only one characterization technique. Therefore, in this work the microstructure of an industrial sinter was characterized by means of light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), also using the chemical elemental mapping by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results of each technique are complementary and are discussed together to provide a broader picture of the sinter microstructure of an industrial sinter.
