Abstract
The porosity at the IMDC-RMDC interface in coke has been identified as a critical parameter contributing to coke failure at tuyere regions. This fractographic study demonstrates that the fracture faces show evidence of the varying failure mechanisms presented in the preceding manuscripts (Part 1 and Part 2), in addition to the erosive wear resulting from the blast furnace exposure. However, further studies are required to establish the association between the identified coke failure mechanisms and coke texture, which has implications for improving coke performance in a blast furnace.
