ACTIVITIES
L F ‐ A D VA N TA G E S
The advantages of a ladle furnace can be defined
as follows :
• Saving of energy
• Saving of ferroalloy
• Increase productivity
• Decreasingg refiningg time of EAF
• Decreasing tapping temperature at EAF
• Precise temperature control
• Improved of inclusions, cleanliness of the steel
• Possibilities of wrong analysis limited
L F ‐ D E S I G N A D VA N TA G E S
The Ladle Furnace is conceived for reheating
the steel in the ladle placed on a ladle car and
will be designed and built according to the
most modern techniques in the field and will
be in particular provided with:
