Electric Arc Furnace: the Héroult Series-Arc Steel Furnace (Stansfield, 1914)

Héroult's steel furnace: a tilting hearth like an open-hearth furnace, lined with dolomite, with two carbon electrodes coming down through the roof. The current goes down one electrode, arcs into the slag, passes through the molten steel and arcs back up the other, so the heat goes straight into the metal. Result: an electric steel furnace about 7 x 4 ft inside for a 3 ton charge, run at about 350 kW and 110 V. Source: A. Stansfield, The Electric Furnace, 2nd ed. (1914), pp. 115-116, 214-216. Unknown: case and tilting gear details, electrode size. Picture: a drawn diagram (Fig. 93 is blank in the scan).

说明

1

Build the case and lining

Build the furnace in a steel case on a tilting mounting, about 7 x 4 ft inside, with charging doors at the ends. Line it with dolomite bricks and crushed dolomite; dolomite or magnesite on the hearth, which allows strongly basic slags. Ours: mild steel plate. Not given: the case and tilting gear, the bricks' making.

此步骤所需材料:

低碳钢板低碳钢板1 case
白云石(镁质石灰岩)白云石(镁质石灰岩)1 lining and crushed dolomite
镁砖块镁砖块1 hearth, if magnesite

Make the removable roof

Make the roof of silica brick, covered with steel plates and given eyes so it can be lifted off. Between the two electrode holes use bronze plates instead of steel, because steel there would raise the inductance of the AC circuit. Fit water jackets round each electrode hole for a close fit, so less heat escapes and the electrodes do not burn in the air. Ours: copper tube for the water jackets. Silica brick has no head here.

此步骤所需材料:

未知材料未知材料1 silica brick
低碳钢板低碳钢板1 roof plates
青铜板青铜板1 plates between electrodes
铜管铜管1 water jackets

Hang the electrodes

Use two vertical carbon electrodes, square in section. Carry each in a holder on an arm supported by the furnace itself, so its height does not change when the furnace tilts: four contact pieces round the electrode, drawn tight by a steel strap and a screw in the arm, with the cable bolted to them. Raise and lower each electrode separately, by a regulator controlled by the voltage between it and the metal. Not given: electrode size, the regulator's build.

Melt and refine a charge

Charge steel scrap with some iron ore and lime. Keep each electrode a little above the slag, leaving room for its arc. Regulate the current by hand while the scrap melts, then switch to automatic; full power only after about an hour. Pour off the slag and make a second, then a third, with lime and a little sand and fluorspar, before the final additions. At La Praz this took about 350 kW at 110 V: 5 hours for 1.25 tons of low-carbon steel, 8 hours for 2.33 tons of high-carbon steel. Not given: the electric supply.
