We optimized the electric arc furnace technology to achieve the best balance among raw materials, scrap preheating, energy saving and environmental protection, process control, automation control, smelting cycle, and production capacity.The electric arc furnace inputs electric energy into the electr
READ MOREAnalysis of power consumption in smelting scrap steelFeatures: Electric furnace for smelting ore and metal at high temperature generated by electrode arc.When the gas discharge forms an arc, the energy is very concentrated, and the arc zone temperature is above 8000°C.Regarding metal smelting,
READ MOREElectric arc furnaces used for smelting generally have three characteristic working stages:· At the beginning of the melting stage, the solid charge is melted and the energy demand is the largest· Initial refining and heating stage· During the refining period, the input energy at this stage only
READ MOREFrench Heroult (P.L.T.Héroult) used the high temperature of the electric arc of the electrode to develop an alternative energy source for coal and invented the electric arc furnace for industrial direct smelting from 1888 to 1892. At first, the electric arc furnace was only used for the production of calcium carbide and ferroalloys. It was not until 1906 that it was developed for steelmaking, which enabled the economical and large-scale recycling of steel scrap.
