Máquinas usadas Electric Arc Furnaces

An electric arc furnace is an electric furnace heated by an arc between two electrodes. The electrodes are made of carbon or graphite and are located in a closed furnace chamber. When a high voltage is applied between the electrodes, an electric arc is generated, which heats the material in the furnace chamber. The electric arc furnace is mainly used in metallurgy to melt and process metals and alloys. It provides a fast and effective way to generate high temperatures and enables the production of high quality steels and alloys. An advantage of the electric arc furnace over other melting processes is that it can mix and recycle different materials, including scrap and residual metals. This helps reduce waste and save raw materials. In addition, the electric arc furnace is also capable of producing a wide range of alloys and materials due to its flexible and adjustable operating parameters.
