The outer shell of the electric furnace is a steel plate, and the furnace is covered with a lining to isolate the high-temperature melt. The lining is made of refractory materials, including the furnace bottom, furnace wall, and molten pool. The furnace bottom is made of refractory ramming material and the furnace wall is built of refractory bricks. Electric furnace smelting uses electricity as the main heat source, using three-phase AC or DC power. An arc is directly generated between the charge and the power, and the charge is melted at high temperature by the arc. During the smelting process, the refractory material of the electric furnace lining will be damaged by arc heat, penetration of high-temperature liquid metal, and chemical erosion of complex slag components. Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned effects, the furnace lining is designed to be thicker at this stage, which makes the furnace body construction cost higher. For example, the construction cost of a 33000KVA electric furnace is as high as 10 million yuan. Utility Model Content
