Characteristics of electric arc furnace steelmaking?
Updated: 2022-04-28 Attention:
Although EAF steelmaking has many advantages, due to the problems of scrap steel and electricity price in China, EAF steelmaking cannot compete with converter steelmaking and long-term products of ordinary steel. At present, EAF steelmaking is mostly applicable to the production of some special steels with small batch, multiple varieties and high alloy ratio.
At present, some short process electric furnace manufacturers in the world generally use electric arc furnaces with high output power. Moreover, the previous three-stage reduction operation process has been gradually replaced by combined process technologies such as out of furnace refining, and the electric arc furnace and its public and auxiliary facilities and equipment are more perfect and reasonable. The proportion of EAF steelmaking output in the world is increasing year by year.
As a fast-growing developing country, China's infrastructure is in its infancy, and large-scale waste recycling is coming. At present, China's power development is unbalanced, and the current electricity price is still in a relatively high stage. Therefore, the development speed of EAF steelmaking in China is limited, which is not as fast as converter steelmaking. Although the total amount of EAF steel is increasing, the proportion of EAF steel output in total steel output is a downward trend, which deviates from the development trend of electric furnace in the world.
With the rapid development of national power facilities and the emphasis on the utilization of scrap resources, as well as the strengthening of human awareness of environmental protection and the recycling of resources and minerals, it is believed that the development of electric arc furnace steelmaking in China will be more perfect.
