Abstract
Self-supporting compact bodies for use in metallurgical processes are made from fine-grained materials containing metal oxides, fine-grained caking coal and optionally other non-caking materials. The non-caking components, e.g., the fine-grained materials and other non-caking materials, are highly heated and mixed with the caking coal and the resulting mixture is briquetted when the coal is in a plastic state. Tar pitch, petroleum bitumen or the like is admixed with the fine-grained caking coal before it is mixed with the highly heated non-caking components. Briquettes formed in this fashion are characterized by improved crushing and abrasive strengths and improved high temperature strength.
