China's coke iron smelting began in what time?
Han also invented the "fried steel law", that is, the use of pig iron "fried" mature iron or steel of the new process, the product is called steel. At the same time, the rise of "100 steelmaking" technology. The Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25 ~ 220), when the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, invented the hydraulic blast furnace, that is, "water discharge". The invention of ancient water row in China, about 1100 years earlier than europe. After the Han Dynasty, the method of steel. "Qi Shu Qi, even referred to as" places "big steel", later known as the filling steel, also known as steel group. This is another important achievement of the ancient steelmaking technology in china. According to the "Encyclopedia of" records: Chinese is the earliest use of coal iron country, the Han Dynasty have been tried, song and Yuan dynasties have been popularized. To the Ming Dynasty (AD 1368 ~ 1644) has been able to use coke smelting pig iron.
In the early period of the Warring States period, China has mastered the technology of decarbonization and heat treatment. The late Warring States period, but also invented a reusable "Iron Fan" (made of iron casting metal utensils of the hollow device). The Western Han Dynasty, appeared the crucible process. At the same time, the further expansion of the scale of shaft furnace. In 1975, in the vicinity of Zhengzhou guxing town discovered and unearthed Han iron smelting sites, site area of 120 thousand m2, two parallel excavated foundation of blast furnace, blast furnace volume of about 50m3
The ancient iron smelting method in smelting iron block, lower temperature, iron ore solid reduction sponge iron, and iron into play by forging. Smelting iron block, furnace, furnace with ground and shaft 3. The block iron making in our country began in the spring and Autumn period, and in the near future, the pig iron with more than 2% carbon dioxide was refined and used as a casting tool
