There are a series of submerged arc furnace operating matters in the smelting process (or electric arc furnace) to ensure the safety, efficiency and product quality of the smelting process. Therefore, when using the smelting furnace, there are some operating matters that need special attention. Let's learn about them together.
Before operation, check the status of the submerged arc furnaces and its related equipment, including power supply, cooling system and exhaust system. Ensure that the furnace body, furnace cover, etc. are not damaged and well sealed.
Prepare the ore, reducing agent (such as coke) and auxiliary solvent (such as limestone) required for smelting according to the formula ratio. Ensuring that the raw materials are dry and free of impurities will help improve the smelting efficiency.
According to the operating procedures, add the raw materials evenly into the smelting furnace, and pay attention to controlling the charge amount. Avoid stratification or agglomeration during the charging process.
On the premise of ensuring safety, slowly increase the current, start arc heating, and observe the arc stability. Regularly check the electrode wear of the SAF and adjust or replace it as needed.
During the operation of the submerged arc furnaces, the temperature in the SAF should be monitored at any time to keep it within the range required by the process and adjusted when necessary. Too high or too low temperature will affect the smelting effect and product quality.
Monitor and discharge furnace gas to ensure that it meets environmental protection standards. Pay attention to ventilation during operation to prevent the accumulation of harmful gases.
After the smelting is completed, the slag and metal should be slowly removed at a suitable temperature. Slow cooling should be performed to prevent the material from brittle cracking due to a sudden drop in temperature.
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as protective clothing, gloves and masks during operation. Set up safety warning signs in the operation area, maintain good ventilation and complete first aid equipment.
Record the parameters and results of each smelting for subsequent analysis and process improvement. Regularly maintain and inspect the metal smelting furnace and environment to ensure long-term safe operation.
These submerged arc furnace operation matters can help ensure the safe, efficient and stable operation of the SAF. If you need to learn more about a certain aspect, or have more needs about solutions and products, please feel free to contact us.
