Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) is generated in considerable amounts by the electric arc steelmaking process. During melting in an electric arc furnace, certain elements volatilize, and form fine dusts after cooling. The EAFD is collected in a baghouse and amounts to approximately 1–2 wt% of the steel produced.1) In China, about 800 million tons of steel was produced in 2015 with more than 9 w...

Flash sintering is one of the newest techniques for sintering ceramics to near full density. It occurs in an appropriate combination of temperature and electric field. Temperature measurement is one of the most serious challenges in this process. In the present study, we tried to model a flash sintering process of 8YSZ and 3YSZ with finite element method to make an assessment for temperature di...

In this paper we proposed a modeling method of the electrode lift controlling plant of a n ultra high power electric furnace and verified the accuracy of the proposed model by simulation an d field test. Keyword: ultra high power (UHP) electric furnace, electric lift device, electric lift control

A considerable amount of mill scale is generated from steelmaking plants annually. Although some industries use it as raw material however, since it contains iron in the form of FeO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, it can be considered as a valuable metallurgical raw material for iron and steelmaking industry as well. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility, efficiency, and consequences o...

Electric arc furnace (EAF) dust, together with a mill scale and coke were smelted in a laboratory electric arc furnace. These metallurgical wastes consist of a many different phases and elements, making the reaction process complex. Thermo-chemical analysis of the reactions in metal, slag, and gas phases was done, and used for modeling of the mixture composition and energy consumption required ...

In this paper a method to make inputting electrical model upon factors that affect melting process of high ultra power(UHP) electric furnace by using fuzzy rule and regression model is suggested and its effectiveness is verified with simulation experiment.
