HOT1 Multifunctional Integrated Ecological DC Electric Arc Furnace Complete

Product Specification

  Multifunctional integrated ecological DC electric arc furnace complete equipment

    A DC Electric Arc Furnace (DC-EAF) is a metallurgical device that uses direct current (DC) to generate high-temperature electric arcs for melting metals. Widely applied in steelmaking, alloy production, and specialty material manufacturing, it offers higher efficiency and stability compared to traditional AC arc furnaces, with reduced grid impact. It is a key tool in modern green metallurgy.

Parameter

I. Core Components
Electrode System

DC Electrode: A single graphite or carbon electrode (negative pole) fixed at the furnace roof center, conducting high current to form the arc.
Furnace Bottom Conductive Layer: A conductive material (e.g., metal plates or refractory materials) lining the furnace bottom as the positive pole, completing the electrical circuit.
Furnace Structure

Built with high-temperature refractory materials (e.g., magnesium-carbon bricks, corundum bricks) to insulate and protect the furnace shell.
Designed as a tilting or fixed furnace for efficient tapping and maintenance.
Power System

A dedicated DC power supply (e.g., IGBT rectifiers or high-voltage DC generators) providing stable low-voltage (hundreds of volts) and high-current (thousands to hundreds of thousands of amperes) output.
Auxiliary Systems

Cooling System: Water-cooled electrodes, furnace mouth, and roof to prevent overheating.
Emission Control: Integrated dust removal (e.g., bag filters) and heat recovery boilers to minimize pollution.
Automation: PLC or DCS systems for real-time control of current, voltage, electrode positioning, and smelting parameters.

II. Working Principle
Arc Smelting: DC current flows between the electrode and metal charge (e.g., scrap steel, alloys), producing an electric arc (3,000°C–5,000°C) to melt the metal.
Efficiency Advantage: The unidirectional DC arc ensures concentrated heating with minimal melt pool turbulence, reducing thermal losses and electrode wear.
Process Flexibility: Supports oxygen blowing, material charging, and decarbonization operations for precise control of chemical composition and temperature.

III. Technical Advantages
High Efficiency & Energy Savings

Faster Smelting: 10%~20% shorter cycles than AC furnaces.
Lower Consumption: 5%~15% less electricity usage due to stable arcing.
Reduced Downtime: Single-electrode design minimizes adjustments during operation.
Superior Product Quality

Stable melt pool leads to uniform metal composition and fewer impurities, ideal for high-purity steels, alloy steels, and specialty materials.
Environmental Benefits

Lower noise and dust generation; compatible with emission scrubbing systems for ultra-low emissions.
Extended Electrode Life

Uniform tip wear extends electrode lifespan by 30%~50% compared to AC systems.

IV. Typical Applications
Steel Production: Stainless steel, tool steel, bearing steel, high-manganese steel, and other specialty alloys.
Non-Ferrous Smelting: Refining copper, aluminum, nickel-based alloys, and precious metals.
Scrap Recycling: Efficient processing of scrap metal and alloys for resource circularity.
Research & Development: Laboratory-scale melting of high-temperature alloys, magnetic materials, and aerospace components.

V. Future Development Trends
Smart Automation: AI and big data-driven optimization for fully automated and unmanned operation.
Green Upgrades: Integration with waste-heat recovery and carbon capture technologies to lower carbon footprints.
Hybrid Processes: Combining with electroslag remelting (ESR) or vacuum degassing for enhanced material properties.
