Ladle Refining Furnace (LRF)

A Ladle Refining Furnace (LRF) is a specialized vessel used in steelmaking to improve the quality of molten steel. After steel is produced in a blast furnace, it is transferred to the LRF, where it undergoes further refining. The LRF allows for precise control of temperature and composition by adding materials or removing impurities. This process enhances the steel’s properties, such as strength and durability, making it suitable for various applications, from construction to automotive manufacturing. Overall, the LRF plays a crucial role in ensuring high-quality steel production.
