Keywords: electric arc furnace, application scope, maintenance points
1. Introduction
Electric arc furnace is a basic tool in the metallurgical industry, which heats metal to a molten state through electric arc heating.
. Electric arc furnaces are not only used in steel production, but also widely used in the production of non-ferrous metals and the recycling of scrap metals.
2. Application scope of electric arc furnace
Electric arc furnace can be used to manufacture various alloys, which are used in national defense and aviation structures due to their high-tech characteristics.
. Using an electric arc furnace can obtain a uniform alloy of any metal. In addition, electric arc furnaces can also be used for physical and chemical analysis, mainly to determine how many different materials there are.
3. Maintenance points
The maintenance of electric arc furnaces is crucial for ensuring the stable operation of equipment and extending its service life.
. The maintenance points include:
Regularly inspect the furnace body, furnace cover, cooling system, and tilting device to ensure that they are intact and undamaged. Check if all tools are available, dry, and in the correct position. Ensure that the electrodes are in place and functioning properly. Regularly check the wear of the electrodes and replace them in a timely manner. Keep the workspace clean and safe, and avoid water and unrelated items from entering the workplace. Regularly maintain the control system of the electric arc furnace to ensure its normal operation.
4. Industry Standards
The maintenance and management of electric arc furnaces are also regulated by industry standards.
. For example, the "Technical Specification for Oxygen Supply in Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking" specifies the terminology and definitions, technical principles, general requirements, etc. of oxygen supply technology for electric arc furnace steelmaking, which is applicable to the design, installation, operation, and management of oxygen supply technology for electric arc furnace steelmaking in steel enterprises. Conclusion: The widespread application and maintenance of electric arc furnaces are of great significance for modern industrial production. By following industry standards and maintenance points, the stable operation of the electric arc furnace can be ensured, and production efficiency and product quality can be improved. With the continuous advancement of technology, the application scope of electric arc furnaces will be further expanded, and maintenance and management will also be more scientific and efficient.
