EAF (Electric Arc Furnace) technology

Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology is a method used to produce steel by melting scrap metal or raw materials using intense heat generated from electrical arcs. Powerful electrodes create an electric arc that heats and melts the metal inside a refractory-lined vessel. This process offers flexibility and environmental advantages, such as lower emissions compared to traditional blast furnaces, and allows for precise control over the temperature and composition. EAFs are commonly used in steelmaking facilities worldwide and are essential for recycling scrap metal into new steel products efficiently.
