Material Balance Model for Steel Production in Electric Arc Furnace - Reduction Period

Abstract

The reduction period is the third, last, part during the production of the so-called electric steel. The
period, as well as the melting and oxidation periods is based on an electric arc method, feasible in a
three-phase furnace. Through formulated dependencies forming the present material balance model, as well as their calculation, results (presented in tabular form) were obtained for the quantities of charge materials used to produce liquid metal, slag and gases, as well as the composition of these phases.
