Re: crushing of coke

Try a search on google. "Metallurgical Coke Crushing" returned 1,530 
hits. As an old blast furnace operator, I found coke to be quite 
abrasive. Changed coke screens about twice a year at the blast furnaces, 
as I remember. It is only sticky & plastic in the coke ovens as it 
transists from coal to coke via heating in the absence of air.
