Abstract
The increasing global demand for iron ore pellets has made the pelletizing companies to step up their investments. The mechanical strength of the pellets, as well as its wear resistance are important factors to characterize the mechanical behavior. These properties are influenced by the type and nature of the ore or concentrate, the additives and the subsequent heat treatment used. This paper develops a numerical finite element model in order to characterize the mechanical behavior of iron ore pellets. The main objective of this study was to establish a valid finite element model that is able to simulate the mechanical behavior of iron ore pellets. The uniaxial compression test was made to evaluate the mechanical properties of the pellets. Furthermore, modeling and simulations are done using the software ABAQUS CAE® for uniaxial compression using the material properties obtained by the test. Lastly, in order to validate the model, the experimental data is crossed with the simulation results to discuss its correlation and particularities.
