What's the matter with electric arc furnace steelmaking?
Updated: 2022-04-28 Attention:
Many people know what electric arc furnaces are like. What are they like?
Electric arc furnace is composed of furnace cover, furnace door, tapping tank and furnace body. It is a vacuum smelting equipment. The furnace body is a closed container, which is pumped into vacuum or inert gas. After the electrode connected from the top of the furnace and the water-cooled crystallizer at the bottom of the furnace are energized and started, an arc is generated. The metal or alloy is melted by the heat of the arc and solidified in the crystallizer.
We usually use electric arc furnace to make steel. So what role does electric arc furnace play in making steel?
When making steel, the thermal effect of electric arc furnace can be used for smelting and steelmaking. The raw materials used for electric arc furnace steelmaking are some scrap steel. According to the different lining materials and slag making materials, there are differences between alkaline method and acidic method. Of course, alkaline method is more commonly used. Electric energy is used as heat source for electric arc furnace steelmaking, which avoids the pollution of sulfur contained in gas heat source to steel; The operation process is flexible, and the slag and furnace gas can be adjusted to be oxidizing or reducing; The strong reducibility can make the precious elements such as chromium, nickel, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium and titanium contained in the charge rarely burned; High furnace temperature and easy to control; High product quality.
