Electric Arc Furnace in Operation

Acid Electric Arc Furnace

The furnace lining of acid electric arc furnace is acid refractory material, and acid slag is made during steelmaking.Acid electric arc furnace can be used for smelting carbon steel, low alloy steel and certain high alloy steel, but not for smelting high manganese steel. Compared with alkaline arc furnace steelmaking,…

Solidification of Continuous Casting Billets

Billet Reheating: Avoiding Defects

During the billet heated, operators should take measures to prevent following case happening. Overheating When the steel billet is heated for a long time at high temperature, it is very easy to overheat. The overheating phenomenon of steel billet is mainly manifested in the excessive growth of the microstructure grains…
