1、Will the dust collection system on the electric arc furnace have any impact on the usage and consumption of electrodes?
The fan used in the dust collection system generates a certain negative pressure during operation. During steelmaking, this increases the air flow rate around the red-hot electrode, thereby also increasing the oxidation consumption of the electrode. During steelmaking, a well-regulated dust collection system not only maintains a good working environment but also stabilizes the consumption of the electrode.
2. How can we avoid an increase in electrode consumption during steelmaking?
To avoid increased electrode consumption during steelmaking, the following measures should be taken: (1) Maintain a good power supply state and supply power within the allowable current intensity range of the electrode as per the design requirements of the electric furnace. (2) Prevent the arc starting point from being immersed in the molten pool. (3) Prevent the electrode from…
