20kg-50KG DC Submerged Arc Furnace For Lab usage

Electric arc furnace (EAF) is a kind of power frequency electric furnace which uses arc energy to smelt metal. Industrial electric arc furnaces can be classified into three categories

The first type is the direct heating type. The arc occurs between the special electrode rod and the charging material, which is directly heated by the arc. Mainly used in steel making Industry as well as  smelting iron, copper, refractories, refining liquid steel, etc.

The second type is indirect heating. The arc occurs between two special electrode rods. The charging material  is heated by the radiation of the arc which is used for smelting copper and copper alloys.

The third type is called submerged arc furnace, which uses high resistivity ore as raw material. In the process of working, the lower part of the electrode is usually buried in the furnace charge.

The submerged arc furnace is mainly used for reducing and smelting ores, carbon reducing agents and solvents and other raw materials. It mainly produces ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrochromium, ferrotungsten, ferrosilicon and manganese alloys, and is an important industrial raw material in metallurgical industry and chemical raw materials such as calcium carbide.

The transformer of the submerged arc furnace has continuous and stable load, low impedance voltage, more voltage regulation series, smaller stage difference and strong overload ability. It can be divided into on-load and off-load  voltage regulation. Generally, the former constant capacity output and the latter constant current output.

The main point of this article is to explain thes small  submerged arc furnace For lab
