The electric arc furnace is a key piece of equipment used in steel production and its main function is to melt scrap steel.
It consists of three main parts: lower furnace body, upper furnace body and furnace roof.
The interior of the electric arc furnace, including the lower vessel, upper vessel and top, is lined with refractory material. These refractory materials can withstand extremely high temperatures and prevent the furnace body from melting or being damaged at high temperatures.
In addition, the exterior and roof of an electric arc furnace usually consist of a water-cooled steel structure. This design helps protect the furnace body, prevent overheating, and increase the life of the furnace.
Electric arc furnaces can be used to smelt various types of steel, including ordinary steel, high-quality carbon steel, and various alloy steels and stainless steels. This makes electric arc furnaces play an important role in the steel industry.
