Abstract：The plastic layer properties of coking coal are crucial factors that influence the coking process and the quality of coke.Studying properties like fluidity,adhesion,swelling,and their correlations can serve as a basis for a comprehensive evaluation of plastic layer quality,guiding coking coal blending.Through detailed analysis of 16 co-king coals from different mining areas in China,including the proximate analysis,plastic layer index,Audibert-Ar-nu dilatation,and Gieseler fluidity,we have deeply investigated the correlation between Gieseler fluidity(MF)and key caking indexes,such as Audibert-Arnu dilatation(a+b),maximal plastic layer thickness(Y),and bond in-dex(GR.I).Additionally,we further explored the correlations between the maximum fluidity(lgMF)and the initial softening temperature(Ts),maximum fluidity temperature(Tmax),solidification temperature(Tr),and plasticity temperature range(△T)in conjunction with the temperature characterization parameters.The results indicated that the lgMF of the coal samples exhibited a quadratic curve correlation with a+b,Y and GR.I,with correlation coeffi-cients(R2)of 0.749 1,0.816 1,and 0.760 4,respectively.The correlation was significantly influenced by the type of coal.lgMF showed a stronger correlation with Ts:as lgMF increased,Ts generally decreased,with a correla-tion coefficient of 0.814 2 for the quadratic regression curves.The correlation between lgMF and Tmax,lgMF and Tr was found to be weak.A notable correlation was observed between lgMF and △T,where an increase in lgMF corre-sponded to a gradual increase in △T,with a correlation coefficient of 0.871 2 for the quadratic regression curve.
