Description
In the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF), recycled steel scrap is melted and converted into high quality steel by using high-power electric arcs.
The main task of most modern EAFs is to convert the solid raw materials to liquid crude steel as fast as possible and then refine further in subsequent secondary steelmaking processes. Nevertheless, if time is available, almost any metallurgical operation may be performed during flat bath operation period (after melting), which is usually performed as a pre-treatment to the secondary steelmaking operations.
In this module the process of electric arc furnace will be described.
What you will learn
- Identify the physical processes related to the production of steel;
- Outline the different stages in the Electric Arc Furnace process;
- Identify where the EAF fits in the steelmaking process.
