The Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is the primary melting unit in modern steel plants, forming the first and most critical step in the EAF–LF–VD/VOD–CCM steelmaking route. It is responsible for converting solid metallic charge into molten steel and directly determines productivity, energy consumption, and steel cleanliness of the entire melt shop.
II. Application:
The EAF is used for smelting carbon steel, high quility carbon steel and various alloy steel. It applies to all syeel scrap, hot metal crap, pelletizing and preheating steel scrap. hot briquetted iron an dsponge iron, etc.
High-Impedance & Long-Arc Operation
The EAF is designed with a series reactor in the main electrical loop, allowing stable long-arc, high-voltage, and low-current operation. This improves arc stability, reduces electrode consumption, and enhances overall melting efficiency.
Efficient Oxygen and Burner System
Integrated oxygen lances and furnace wall burners accelerate scrap melting, promote foamy slag formation, and significantly shorten tap-to-tap time.
Advanced Eccentric Bottom Tapping (EBT)
The EBT system ensures slag-free tapping, minimizing re-oxidation and nitrogen pickup. This results in cleaner steel, lower load on the ladle furnace, and longer refractory life.
Robust Water-Cooled Furnace Structure
The furnace adopts a frame-type, fully water-cooled shell with detachable upper and lower sections. This design provides excellent thermal protection, long campaign life, and stable operation under high power input.
Flexible Mechanical Operation
Furnace tilting, electrode lifting, and roof rotation are controlled by proportional hydraulic systems, ensuring smooth, precise, and reliable operation during charging and tapping.
Automation & Process Control
The entire EAF system is equipped with PLC and computer-based control and monitoring systems, enabling real-time process adjustment, data tracking, and safe operation.
