Unlocking the Potential of Electric Arc Furnaces in Modern Steelmaking

Abstract

Peter Taylor

An Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is a type of furnace used for the production of steel by melting scrap steel and other iron-bearing materials using an electric arc. This method uses an electric arc to melt recycled steel and other materials to create new steel. EAF used for melting metals such as steel, iron, and other non-ferrous metals. The EAF works by creating an electric arc between the electrodes and the metal being melted. The arc heats the metal and causes it to melt, allowing it to be poured into molds or further processed.
