An EAF electric arc furnace china is a sophisticated industrial facility used for melting and refining various types of metals, primarily steel. The EAF furnace operates on the principle of electrical energy being converted into intense heat through an electric arc. In the furnace, an electric arc is generated between electrodes and the metal charge, resulting in temperatures exceeding 3,000 degrees Celsius.
EAF steel production, also known as Electric Arc Furnace steelmaking, is a vital process in the metallurgical industry. It involves the use of Electric Arc Furnaces to melt and refine scrap steel, contributing to the sustainable and efficient production of steel. The process begins with the charging of scrap steel into the electric arc furnace. Electrodes, typically made of graphite, are then lowered into the furnace, creating an electric arc that generates temperatures exceeding 3000 degrees Celsius. This intense heat melts the scrap steel, facilitating the removal of impurities and alloying elements, resulting in high-quality steel.
