What Is the Power Level of an Electric Arc Furnace, and How Does It Affect Steelmaking Production?

In electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking, the “power level” refers to the rated transformer capacity allocated per ton of steel. Essentially, it indicates how much electrical energy (in kVA) is provided for melting each ton of steel. This metric is a key indicator of the furnace’s technical capability and has…

What is EBT and Its Advantages in Electric Furnace Steelmaking

EBT (Eccentric Bottom Tapping) is a modern electric furnace tapping technology, first jointly developed by Mannesmann-Demag and Thyssen in Germany in 1978. This technology sets a special tapping hole behind the bottom of the electric arc furnace, 20 to 60 cm close to the furnace wall. Through structural design and…

Ladle Slag Adhesion

In operation, continuous casting ladle will appear slag adhesion or tumor phenomenon, resulting in a reduction in the effective volume. As the slag is very hard, it tends to intermingle with cold steel, which makes ladle unpacking very difficult and increases the number of ladle unpacker damages and repairs. With the…
