Description
Short description:
EAF Equipment: Explore furnace components and core operations including melting, slagging, and tapping in this interactive module.
Long description:
This module introduces learners to the fundamental equipment and operations involved in Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking. It begins with an overview of the key components—including electrodes, furnace shell, rocker tilt, and tapping mechanisms—and emphasizes their role in ensuring efficient melting and steel processing. Learners explore the interconnection between mechanical and electrical systems, with special focus on graphite electrodes, their movement, and current conduction. The operational stages of charging, melting, slagging, additions, and tapping are also presented in an interactive format. The module equips learners to identify, classify, and analyze EAF mechanical layouts and link core components to their functions within real-time steelmaking operations.
What you will learn
- Identify and classify the mechanical and electrical equipment that make up the EAF system.
- Distinguish the functions of core components such as electrodes, tapping spouts, and furnace shells.
- Describe the sequence of operations from charging to tapping in the EAF.
- Interpret visual schematics of EAFs and associate each part with corresponding operational stages.
- Explain how mechanical features like rocker tilt and eccentric bottom tapping support effective slagging and steel flow.
