CHARGE MATERIALS
Scrap
In former times, electric arc furnacesfor steelmaking used scrap as themain charge material. Mean while,to allow for equalizing price fluctu -a tions on the raw materials markets,modern electric arc furnaces aredesigned to efficiently process avariable mix of scrap, direct-reducediron and liquid pig iron. Our EAFscome with large shells and extraplant technology to give you maxi-mum versatility.
Cold DRI
Direct reduced iron, or DRI, is thepreferred choice for high-qualitysteel grades. It produces steel withlow sulfur and phosphor contents,combined with reduced nitrogen.This level of purity is necessary formost flat steel products as well asspecial grades for long products.
Hot DRI
The production process for directreduced iron allows drawing thematerial from the shaft furnace athigh temperature, then feeding itcontinuously into electric arc smelt -ing at around 600°C.
The hot direct reduced iron, orHDRI, utilizes the thermal energyfrom DRI production and is feddirectly into the EAF via a specialconveyor system.
That offers you two advantages:Lower energy consumption compared to cold DRIHigher productivity
A cooperation agreement betweenSMS Siemag and Midrex awards the two companies exclusive rightsto market steelworks equipped with CSP® plants and upstreamMIDREX® Direct reduction plants.It’s a perfect combination. Why?Because MIDREX® Direct reductionand steelworks technology fromSMS Siemag with downstreamCSP® give you an ideally coordinatedminimill solution for energy-efficient,cost-effective production of high-grade hot strip.
8
Hot metal
Using hot metal as the charge material in your electric arc furnace,you can achieve lower charge costsand high degrees of purity. So hereis an attractive alternative to con-ventional methods. Our plants useup to 80 percent hot metal. Thatgives you high-quality steel gradesat low charge costs.
The charging process developed by SMS Siemag features a speciallydesigned launder. First, a chargingcrane or transport car with liftingfunction transfers the liquid pig ironfrom a ladle into the launder. Thenthe launder charges the liquid pigiron through the slag door into theelectric arc furnace.
A glance at the operating results clearly shows you the benefits ofusing liquid pig iron as a chargematerial.
Extremely low electricity consumptionHigh liquid steel purityHigh productivity

MECHANICS
Single-bucket charging
Our preferred solution for electricarc furnaces is single-bucket charg -ing. It comes with key advantages:
30% higher productivity than standard furnacesHigh yield efficiency with long electric arcsReduced specific losses using furnace heat to heat the scrapEfficient use of burner systems to support the smelting process using a higher scrap pillarHigh productivity at low energy costs
Split bottom shell
Also available in our supply scopeis a two-part bottom shell. Thatmakes it easier to replace the wearzone of the bottom shell.
Furthermore, it gives you the option to increase the life-time ofthe refractory wearing zone by theintegration of cooling systems.
Exchange shell
technology
Developed by SMS Siemag, thistechnology ensures much shorterdowntimes and high plant effec- tiveness.
You can replace top and bottomshells either separately or to gether.As a result, regular maintenance ispossible outside the productionline.
10
Coal injection system
Injecting carbon material into theliquid bath is necessary to producean effective foaming slag. Only thenyou can operate with long electricarcs through the foaming slag toachieve a high yield. In addition, thelong electric arcs reduce specificelectrode consumption. That’sbecause they require a smaller electric power to pro duce the sameyield.
The coal injection lances are inte- grated in the copper blocks near the slag zone.
You benefit from:Easy installation and exchangeInjection close to the bath surface
SIS burner function
Also available is an SIS modulewith burner function. It is con-trolled in such way that the scrapis molten down homogeneously.
Oxygen Injection System
[SIS]
Today, oxygen in electric arc fur-naces is the key to cost-effectiveproduction. That’s why we developedour Oxygen Injection System (SIS).Here is what it means for you:
Effective, long oxygen jet from optimized Laval injector nozzlesLow operating costs using hot gas burnersSmall oxygen apertures to prevent injector slaggingOptional oxygen injection withoutburner function

FEOS FURNACE ENERGY OPTIMIZATION SYSTEM
FEOS – Energy optimiza-
tion system for electric arc
furnaces
It used to be down to experiencedprocess engineers to draw up melting strategies and specify process parameters for differentcharge materials and consistencies.
SMS Siemag has developed asystem that determines all the key processes in your electric arc furnace, then controls them tooptimize energy utilization. This isour Furnace Energy OptimizationSystem, or FEOS.
FEOS is designed to enable yourengineers to adjust all parametersquickly and flexibly so they canadapt the melting strategy in linewith their experience to optimizethe process in the electric arc furnace.
Characteristics of FEOS
It is simple and user-friendly. Youbenefit from these key communi-cation features:
Design of the specific electricarc furnace and structured input of control parameters and limit valuesDocumentation and visualizationof all material and energy flowsCombination of control diagrams(Level 1 controls) and conven-tional control strategiesOffline test of algorithms and parameters with replay mode in a simulation environment
FEOS control basis
The special advantage of FEOS is it controls the regulation signals ofthe output variables that determinethe process. How? By measuring,in real time, the process inputvariables and the pre-set functionsof power control, reactor control,burner control and foaming slagcontrol.

The results
FEOS has proven its worth in practical operation. The resultsshow that an electric arc furnacerunning with FEOS gives you awhole range of benefits:
Performance controlHigh melting yieldsNo interruptions through switch-offs in borderline temperature areaRapid reaction with simultane-ous reduction of switching frequencyReproducible and efficient electrical energy inputShort tap-to-tap times
Injector controlProcess-dependent use of materials, independently of timeMinimized, effective usage
FEOS – foaming slag
control
FEOS foaming slag control is oneof the most important modules formaximizing the energy efficiencyof your electric arc furnace. It’s amethod we developed to controlthe foaming slag level according tothe furnace noise level.
FEOS – continuous off-gas

PERFORMANCE
AC EAF – SUPERIOR
EXPERIENCE
Right from the start of electricsteel production, our alternatingcurrent electric arc furnaces havedemonstrated their capability againand again. Over the years, we havesteadily improved our designs.
These state-of-the-art alternatingcurrent electric arc furnaces offeryou an extremely high productioncapacity and a transformer rating of more than 1.5 MVA/t.
Superior performance
Today, our alternating current high-impedance furnaces are state ofthe art. They feature low reactanceon the secondary side as well asan impedance coil on the primaryside of the furnace transformer.
Your advantages:Stable electric arc operationLow energy consumptionLow electrode consumptionFewer electrode breakagesLow force applied to the electrodes and electrode bearing armsLess network interference
High performance
Connecting transformers with arating of up to 250 MVA makeshigh demands on the design of the mechanical equipment. Just as challenging, the water-cooledpanels of the wall and roofelements have to withstand ex tremely high thermal strains.
That’s why the electrical high-cur-rent section from the transformerto the electrodes is specially de-signed to cope with extremely highcurrents and voltages. Our special -
ists know all there is to knowabout building symmetrical high-current systems. This ensureseven power input into the electricarc furnace and prevents localoverheating.

DIRECT-CURRENT DIRECT-CURRENT electric arc furnaces
ALL ADVANTAGES IN
ALL NETWORKS
The technology
What sets our direct-current fur naces apart is their low energy and electrode consumption. Theyalso ensure excellent thermal andmetallurgical homogenization ofthe liquid steel. Plus, there is theincreased stirring effect of thedirect-current arc that supports this process.
Compared to alternating-currentelectric arc furnaces, direct-currentfurnaces cause fewer network disturbances, so you can connectthem even to weak electric grids.
Key to the efficiency of a direct-current electric arc furnace is opti-mal central arc positioning. Ourcomputer simulation system foravoiding electric arc deflectionoffers you perfect high-current bus bar system arrangement.
Revamps
It is always worth examining whether your existing bottom elec-trode system should be replacedby SMS Siemag pin-type bottomelectrodes.
Our pin-type bottom electrodesoffer you:
Long service life of more than 2,000 heatsSafe operation with possible bottom electrode wear monitoringRapid change-over times using tried-and-tested methods and toolsHigh safety provided by air coolingTop plant effectiveness and productivity
The bottom electrode
Another element in the success of our direct-current electric arc furnaces is our patented and con-tinually improved pin-type bottomelectrode.
Depending on the current densityrequired, the current is distributedover more than 300 individual steelpins. That ensures a symmetricalload on the bottom electrode,which can also be thermally moni-tored at fixed points. Safety is atop priority in our plants, so thebottom electrode is air-cooled.
The advantages of pin-
type bottom electrodes:
Extremely low operating costsAir-cooled bottom electrodeLong service life, so mainte-nance work can be carried out together with maintenance of the bottom shell brick liningNo interim repairs necessary

DOUBLE VERSATILITY
Our CONARC® furnaces combinethe technological advantages ofelectric arc furnaces with those ofthe conventional converter blowingprocess. They consist of a singleproduction unit with two identicalshells.
We chose the name CONARC®
to reflect this combination(CONverter ARCing). It gives youthe advantages of free choice ofcharge materials and a wide rangeof steel grades. Depending on the steel grade as well as the avail ability and price of chargematerials, you can vary the per -centages of scrap, hot metal andsponge iron.
Equally flexible is your choice of energy sources with theCONARC® method. You can achieve a converter and arcingphase balance using a suitable mixof electrical and chemical energy.That ensures perfect symmetry between the delayed-action tappingsequence times of the two shells.
Two process steps
CONARC® is optionally equippedwith one swiveling or two stationarytop lances for oxygen blowing. Plus, there are devices for bottomstirring that can be integrated in the shell floor.
The process is divided into two stages:
The converter phase, which involves blowing oxygen onto the melt through the top lance to decarburize it.The electric arc furnace phase, during which electric power is applied to melt the solid material and overheat the bath to tapping temperature.
The world is changing dynamically:you respond with flexibility.

Filter dust injection
Filter dust injection also improvesthe ecological impact of electric arcfurnaces. This involves repeatedlychanneling the filter dust back intothe electric arc furnace so that thezinc content in the dust builds upsteadily.
Finally, the enriched filter dustturns from a by-product into acommercial product that can berecycled.
Filter dust processing
SMS Siemag has developed a special process for submerged-arcfurnaces that recycles metallurgicalby-products, including filter dusts.
This technology gives you theopportunity to effectively extractthe metal content, so you gainvaluable raw materials from yourwaste.
