Tapping the steel. The EAF gets tilted and the silicon sand plug removed. The liquid steel poors out of the EAF vessel in an other vessel in which it is kept in a liquid state to be processed in the ladle furnace for the correct properties of the steel required for the rolling mill

  • Wow...does this go to an LMF? If so I'd hate to have to get the customer's chemistry specs on that one...definatly a high si!

  • @verona887 yes, this is the melting stage of the scrap steel.

    The LMF will do the final blending stages of the steel.

  • I hope that's not a bottom tap. If it were I would be cussing. That looks kind cold (less than 2900 degrees)

  • It's a spout tap, bear in mind that I work as a contractor on the electrical side here and am not an expert in steel making.

    Also the colour on a camera may not always be exact as the brightness may overdrive the automatic camera adjustments.

  • That is correct.

  • decided to watch EAF process cause I am curious

  • @sentinel76 bottom tapping EAF....

  • good slag....

  • Worst tap I've seen in a long time, stream was all over the place.

    Tap temperature would be around 1600degC.

    This is a submerged tap hole EAF for slag free tapping.
