Conventional flash furnace concentrate was blended with the FeNi concentrate to form a composite powder containing 10, 20, and 30% FeNi concentrate where the matteMatte generated under inert conditions were compared to the theoretical values to assess the methodology used. The flash furnace concentrate (0% FeNi), ferronickelFerronickel concentrate (100% FeNi) and 10% FeNi material were oxidized with a 3-, 7-, and 10-s oxygen blow to determine the resulting matteMatte composition under highly oxidizing conditions.
