Ladle Refining Furnace

Product Details:

Owing to our vast industry experience and expertise, we have been able to offer Ladle Refining Furnaces. This system is specially designed to remove slag with phosphorus to make the steel clean. To control electrode consumption as low as 0.3 -0.4 kg/ ton, servo valves and hydraulic cylinders are used for electrode regulation.

Features:

• Removal of metallic inclusions to make clean steel
• Reduction of gas content by feeding Aluminium / CaSi wire to produce “killed” steel. Oxygen level of 30 ppm can be obtained
• Homogenization of temperature and composition of molten steel by gentle stirring
• Degassing treatment of steel to achieve low gas content (oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen)
• Holding of molten steel while sustaining temperature/superheating for sequencing on the CCM

Refining Steel:

• Traditional Ladle Refining Furnace (LRF) is used to de-sulphurize steel, adjust its chemical composition and raise the temperature of molten metal besides as a buffer between the melting and casting equipment. Electrotherm Refining Furnace (ERF™) is specially designed metallurgical equipment to de-phosphorize steel besides preforming other processes as done by LRF.
• It facilitates tapping at lower temperature, which in turn increases production and refractory life of melting equipment and reduces power consumption, thereby reducing the cost of steel making. ERF provides greater flexibility to steel maker in overall plant operation. The concept is user-friendly and can produce high-quality structural steel, low alloy steel and other value added steels through Induction Furnace – ERF route using an even very high percentage of sponge Iron / DRI as raw material.
