It is mainly used to produce ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrochrome, ferrotungsten, silicon-manganese alloy and other ferroalloys. It is an important equipment commonly used in the metallurgical industry. Its working characteristics are that it uses carbon or magnesium refractory materials as furnace lining, uses self-training electrodes, and inserts the electrodes into the charge for submerged arc operation. It uses the energy of the arc and the energy generated by the resistance of the charge when the current passes through the charge to melt the metal.
