FUNCTIONS OF EAF
Functions of EAF:
1. Melting of inputs and homogenization of steel bath. 2. Raising the temperature of the melt to 16200C for tapping. 3. Decarburisation. 4. Dephosphorisation. 5. Slag free and compact stream tapping.
FLUX:
Lime from LDP (Lime and Dololime Plant) Burned dolomite from LDP
OTHER INPUTS:
Oxygen from Oxygen plant. CPC (Calcined petroleum coke)
Best charge mix combination always try to Aim for optimum output is mentioned below which depends upon availability of raw material and power Power- 50-72 MW Hot metal- 50-58% DRI- 40- 48% Bucket charge 0-2% EAF is switched on and operating on low power depending on scrap. Calculate oxygen blown in furnace through VLB
If the carbon content is high in that condition the extra oxygen will be supplied for the reduction of carbon in the form of Carbon dioxide Furnace helper takes the temperature of the melt in EAF . Temp. of melt should not less than 1600c
TAPPING Shift incharge instructs the PIT side supervisor to get the ladle below the tapping hole of the EAF .before tapping it is ensured that the purging is in open condition . During tapping addition of ferroalloys , fluxes and deoxidizer are done. Then transfer towards ladle.

calculations
At eaf Dri-0-55% Hot metal (si-.2-1.2%,temp. 1100-1380c)-080% Bucket charge (scrap+skull+dri+pig iron)-040% Power: 50-72 mw
Example If we want hot metal consist 60kg si then according to the capacity of eaf (60mth/m, total hot metal will consist 360 kg of si, Then= si +o2 = sio2
Sio2 = 360x1.114=410.4 For maintaining 2 bassisity -410.2x2=820.8 cao is required. But pure lime consist approx 85% pure so, 100-kg---------- 85kg pure cao 820.2 kg ------ 85/100 x 820.8
example
Silica load x 50% = req. Mgo The capacity of eaf 65 ton, if furnace run at 1 MW , tat to tap time is 32 min. , in jspl 70 Mw furnace run So, 70 x 30 = 2100kg. When it had achieved 73 heat then tap to tap Time will =39.45 min.
Super heat
Lrf ---80c-----slab 20c----tundish 40c --casting 30c----So super heat is= 20+40+30=90c Let us assume after 1 min. temp. will raise 5c And we know that furnace temp. is- 1530c Supply temp.is 1599 c. So total temp. raise = 69c
1 min temp. raise=5c
so furnace will run for around 14 min. Due to this super heat furnace wikll run for extra 14 min. but ladle takes time because 1-addition of substances 2-cooling of ladle 1% addition of any substance results 20-25c temp. drop. We are adding 1.5 ton of sub. Through fafa.so furnace will have to run 7 min. So total running of furnace can calculated as =14+7+5=26 min.
They have a transfarmer of 12 mva at power factor of 0.8so total power consume=9600w We are running furnace for 26 min. So, 60 min power consumption is =9600w 26 min ----------4160w That means power req. for 1 ton is 4160 watt Cost of power for 1 ton melting can also calculated if 1 watts cost is g Thencost=4160 x g
Quality control dept.(spectrolab) to start Spectrometer we have to press f2 botton . Before that loly pop sample have taken from lrf as well as eaf also. Sample must be polished . For that purposedisc polisher and automatic polisher is available. Automatic polishing machine have been supplied from germeny. It consist of ab 60 grit paper. Paper is called as eloxide paper . For picking sample sample lancing is used .height of sample lancing is 5 ft. It is supplied by shreeram industry.
