Arc Furnace : Electric Arc Furnace (EAF)

Usually small furnaces are Spout Type and Furnaces above 20 Tons are EBT Type, where slag free metal is tapped. EAF route is mainly for Plain Carbon & Alloy Steel making for automobile industries and also high alloy steel grades. The heat after tapping is processed at LRF for final chemistry and temperature. After LRF the heat is transferred to VD for removal of Hydrogen and other impurities. After VD operation trimming alloy adjustment may be done and heat is sent for casting to CCM. The Caster is most important area which can improve or deteriorate the steel quality related to physical and Structre of steel . For Stainless Steel VOD or AOD can be installed in line with EAF.

SMRC's Design solutions for Electric Arc Furnace units are focused on the development of heavy-duty equipment capable of withstanding both high electrical and chemical melting power density without impairing quality of produced steel, reliability of equipment, environment and overall safety of all the furnace operations.

Thanks to the acquisition of the worldwide known FUCHS Technology , SMRC enhances its capabilities reaching the excellence in the designing technique and operation technology of Electric Arc Furnaces and Ladle Furnaces, providing the market with the most advanced and innovative equipment for meltshops.
