Change in Arc Efficiency During Melting in Steel-Melting Arc Furnaces

详细

Results are provided for calculating arc efficiency of steel-smelting arc furnaces in various stages of charge melting with a change in slag layer thickness. Arc efficiency is at a maximum after cutting a well in a charge. Charge thickness decreases during melting and arc efficiency is reduced. An increase in slag layer thickness in the opening period leads to an increase in arc efficiency. Calculated data are confirmed by experimental studies in steel melting arc furnaces.
