What is electric arc furnace steelmaking?

Electric arc furnace steelmaking is a steelmaking method with electric energy as the heat source, and it is a veritable "electric tiger". As far as the general machinery industry is concerned, the power consumption of electric arc furnaces accounts for a substantial proportion of the power consumption of enterprises. Therefore, reducing the unit consumption of electric arc furnace steelmaking in an enterprise is an important link for enterprises to reduce production costs and improve economic benefits.

The main factors affecting the unit consumption of electric arc furnace

There are many factors that affect the unit consumption of electric arc furnaces in production practice, but there are several factors in summary: human factors, equipment factors, charge factors, and process technology factors. The human factor includes operational workers and technical and management personnel. The attention of management personnel is an important factor, and only if the leaders attach great importance to it, can the financial, material, and human resources required for electric furnace power saving be guaranteed. Equipment factors include the transformation and maintenance management of electric arc furnace equipment. The improvement of equipment conditions reduces the labor conditions for operators, puts more energy into the process control of smelting operations, completes each step operation as soon as possible, saves smelting time, and reduces power consumption. Equipment The stable operation lays a good foundation for the energy-saving work of the electric arc furnace.

The charge factor affects the operation time of each step of the electric arc furnace smelting. The charge can be matched in proportion, and the ingredients meet the requirements of technical process ingredients, which can significantly reduce the smelting time before the furnace, reduce energy consumption, and at the same time, it is also beneficial to the quality control of molten steel. Of course, the improvement of process technology can improve the smelting technology, the application of the single slag method, NR rapid steelmaking method, and other technologies can significantly reduce the smelting operation time and effectively save energy.
