The installation for heating is called ladle furnace (LF). Typically, there is argon bubbling from the ladle bottom to circulate the steel and to improve
Actual control over steel temperature can be achieved in a ladle furnace (LF). This is a small electric-arc furnace with an 8- to 25-megavolt-ampere transformer
Additional heat is required to carry out these operations. Hence the ladle is provided with a heat source which heats the liquid metal and compensates thermal
As to the vacuum degassing process to be com- bined with LF, RH is most used in present steel- making. Since the presence of slag bulk in a LF vessel does not
Torpedo ladles are commonly used to transport liquid iron from a blast furnace to another part of the steel mill. Some versions are even adapted so that they
Ladle Refining Furnaces (LRF) are used to desulfurize steel, remove other impurities and hold the molten steel for casting operations. Large ladles are used
Traditional Ladle Refining Furnace (LRF) is used to de-sulphurize steel, adjust its chemical composition and raise the temperature of molten metal besides
Increasing demand on stainless steel series 300 from world´s industries has motivated to former ferronickel producers to optimize their plants and attract new.
The main purpose of the LF is to raise steel temperature and to control the chemical composition between tapping and casting, removing and/or modifying
The ladle furnace serves as an electric heating unit, primarily to set the required steel temperature. In addition, it offers the possibility of implementing
A promising type of steel slag for applications is the ladle furnace (LF) slag, which is also known as the basic slag, the reducing slag, the white slag,
