EAF (Electric Arc Furnace)

An Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is a type of industrial furnace used to produce steel by melting scrap metal using intense electrical energy. It has large electrodes that create an electric arc—an extremely hot lightning-like spark—that melts the metal quickly and efficiently. EAFs are flexible and can be turned on or off as needed, making them ideal for producing smaller batches or customized steel products. They are more environmentally friendly than traditional blast furnaces, as they mainly use recycled steel and produce fewer emissions. Overall, EAFs are essential for modern, sustainable steel manufacturing.
