Developments in electric arc furnace steelmaking
In recent years, the growth of EAF steelmaking and the corresponding push for improved productivity and lower energy usage, has seen a blurring of the boundary between oxygen and electric steelmaking and a departure from the pure batch processing operating philosophy associated with early EAF steelmaking. These developments include hot heel operation, continuous feeding, oxygen injection, preheating and post combustion. This paper provides an overview of developments in EAF steelmaking in the last twenty years, critically evaluates the current state of the technology and discusses the future of EAF steelmaking.
