The recent projects and the new EAF orders indicate a new
trend in the furnace design proposing very big electric arc
furnaces. Concast, after the first successful installation in
2003 of the 180 t EAF in Icdas, wants to reproduce the really
outstanding performances of this EAF with the new 220 t
EAF producing 320 t/h. The equipment installed and the
furnace design will follow the “Ultra High Chemical Power”
EAF indexes.
An analysis on the basic engineering parameters and the
extrapolation of its performance are presented.
