What is Ladle Refining Furnace?

ladle refining furnace

Ladle refining furnace refers to the equipment with the function of heating and refining of steel-making furnace. It is important metallurgical equipment used to refine the molten steel melted in the primary smelting furnace (electric arc furnace, open-hearth furnace, and converter), adjust the molten steel temperature, and buffer the process, so as to meet the requirements of continuous casting and continuous rolling. A ladle furnace is one of the main pieces of equipment for refining outside the furnace.

Converter Furnace VS Electric Arc Furnace

Converter Furnace VS Electric Arc Furnace

What is the Difference between Converter Furnace Steelmaking and Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking? Converter Steelmaking: The converter body can rotate, with a steel plate as the shell and refractory material as the lining.

Ladle Furnace Refining Technology

Ladle Furnace refining furnace

Ladle furnace refining technology research began in 1968. At that time, it was discovered that the reduction and refining effect of prefabricated reduction slag, mixed steel slag, and argon blowing treatment in the electric arc furnace was significant. Therefore, the development of a ladle refining technology with the electric arc heating function for the purpose […]
