Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an electric furnace finger with a long service life, belonging to the technical field of electric furnace equipment. Background Art

[0002] Before melting scrap steel, the pit-type electric furnace will use the residual heat of steelmaking in the furnace to preheat the scrap steel to be melted, and then melt it after reaching the predetermined temperature to improve the melting efficiency. During preheating, the steel material is held above the molten steel by a workpiece with a finger-like structure. When adding materials, the scrap steel will be dropped down from the basket located about 10 meters above the fingers when the electric furnace is working. The fingers need to retract when adding materials to the molten steel in the furnace. There are a total of 34 fingers of different lengths inside the electric furnace for receiving materials.
