Materials For Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking

Materials for electric arc furnace steelmaking: scrap steel is the main raw material.

Electric Arc Furnace Characteristics, Steelmaking Materials & Processes

What Is an Electric Arc Furnaces?

An electric arc furnace is an electric furnace that uses the high temperature generated by the electrode arc to melt ore and metal.

Its more flexible than other steelmaking furnace processes, can effectively remove impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus, the furnace temperature is easy to control, the equipment occupies a small area, and is suitable for the smelting of high-quality alloy steel. The electric arc furnace melts the scrap steel raw materials by arc radiation, temperature convection and heat conduction.

The basic process of electric arc furnaces steelmaking includes slag filling, loading metal furnace charge, power transmission, melting, oxidation, reduction refining and steel tapping.

Different EAF steelmaking materials match corresponding design schemes. For better smelting work.

Classification: Materials For Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking

Its divided into two categories: metal materials and non-metallic materials.

Metal materials:

Including scrap steel, pig iron, molten iron, direct reduced iron (DRI), ferroalloys, iron ore and oxidized iron scale.

Non-metallic materials:

• Including slag-making materials, such as lime, fluorite, dolomite, carbon balls (carbon powder), high-alumina vanadium, etc.;

• Synthetic slag materials, such as desulfurizers, molten synthetic refined slag, etc.;

• Refractory materials, such as furnace bottom refractory materials, ladle refractory materials, middle refractory materials, etc.;

• Other materials, such as electrodes, carburizers, heat preservation agents, protective slag, etc.
