Faced with the requirements of high-quality development in the steel industry, electric arc furnace technology is moving towards large-scale, intelligent, and low-carbon direction. The capacity of large-scale ultra-high power electric arc furnaces has exceeded 400 tons, and the single furnace output has significantly increased; The intelligent control system can achieve full process automation from batching to steelmaking, with a steel composition hit rate of over 99%; Combined with new technologies such as hydrogen smelting and carbon capture, electric arc furnaces are expected to achieve near zero emissions in the future. In terms of application, electric arc furnaces are no longer limited to the production of ordinary steel, but are increasingly widely used in the fields of high-strength steel, weather resistant steel, electrical steel and other products. With the improvement of China's scrap steel recycling system and the increase in the proportion of clean energy, electric arc furnace short process steelmaking will play a more important role in the green transformation of the steel industry, contributing to the construction of a resource-saving and environmentally friendly industrial system.
