UNVEILING THE EAF STEEL PRODUCTION PROCESS AND ITS GLOBAL IMPACT
EAF Steelmaking Process:

EAF steel production, also known as Electric Arc Furnace steelmaking, is a vital process in the metallurgical industry. It involves the use of Electric Arc Furnaces to melt and refine scrap steel, contributing to the sustainable and efficient production of steel. The process begins with the charging of scrap steel into the electric arc furnace. Electrodes, typically made of graphite, are then lowered into the furnace, creating an electric arc that generates temperatures exceeding 3000 degrees Celsius. This intense heat melts the scrap steel, facilitating the removal of impurities and alloying elements, resulting in high-quality steel.
