Specifics of Forming and Operating Self-Sintering Electrodes of Slag-Cleaning Electric Furnaces of Nadezhdinsk Metallurgical Plant

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

The specifics of forming and operating the electrodes of slag-cleaning electric furnaces of the Nadezhdinsk Metallurgical Plant have been studied. It was found that the main factors causing electrode breaks include significant fluctuations of the molten pool level and underroof space temperatures of the furnaces.
