Arc furnaces

Arc furnaces are industrial machines used primarily for melting and refining metals. They operate by generating intense heat through electric arcs, which are created when high-voltage electricity flows between electrodes and the metallic charge inside the furnace. This process allows for high-temperature operations, making it efficient for recycling scrap metal or producing high-quality steel. Arc furnaces are preferred for their energy efficiency and ability to control temperature and composition, resulting in better metal quality compared to traditional methods. They play a crucial role in the steelmaking industry and contribute significantly to metal recycling efforts.
