Sinter is a material charged to the Blast Furnace in the Ironmaking Process.
It consists of fine iron ore fused at high temperature with fluxes to form a porus clinker, which is later charged to the blast furnace.
Sintering takes place in a Sinter Plant, sinter plants are also used to recycle waste material generated elsewhere in the steelmaking process.
