GREAT video man!! I got a steel making vid on my page,check it u may like!!
I'm a process engineer/caster operator at our "mini-mill". Our EAF/LMF is about 200ft away from the caster. I love it! Just started up after a 4 week repair job on the EAF due 2 a water leak on a cooling panel!! When they finshed tapping and repositioned the EAF there was alot of water left with the heal and it exploded!! Snapped the gantry arm clean in half while liftin the roof about 8ft !! It was loud n bad !!!!

@RODALCO2007 does your mill have S.O.P. in place for the operators in case of water leaks on the cooling panels??
Thanks.

Yes they have. Explosions are very common when wet scrap steel is dumped in at the second or third charge.
Extra shutters are dropped in front of the control room double glazed view windows.

well, ur probably right. i dont know the exact specs of our EAF because i'm a caster tech at my mill. our shop consists of 1 eaf 1 lmf and the caster... It's a tough operation to run because of this(alot of turnaround time due to mechanical issues).
