Boiling Steel EAF

Steel and slag boiling at 1616 ° Celcius in the arc furnace.
A sample is being taken to check for other metals prior to tapping of the 47 tons liquid load.
Video take through blue filter in the control room.
The brightness without filter is too intense to get detailed footage otherwise.

Boiling up extreme !

don't forget to salt it before boiling

@ChicagoPrepper LOL !!

i love that 50Hz humming noise

ware i live we have 60Hz 120V power

[RODALCO2007]

@360fatcats This is at 330 Volts 50 Hertz and 50,000 Ampères

This is actually sort of alarming to watch, as the mind wanders into frightful 'what ifs' about horrifying accidents. o,o

Aaaaaaaaaa!!! It`s a Hell!

if you were to fall into boiling steel, you would die so fast that you wouldn't know you're dead.

@BrainStirmKZ 50 kA can't make it through your body because it has a great resistance and the voltage is too low, only 330 V. The only reason we have such great current here is because the resistance is low, as it's an arc in molten steel.

There are electrolytic cells that operate at few amperes (which would kill you if they passed through your heart), but the voltage is few volts, so basically nothing happens if you touch the terminals.

It's a common mistake.

@BrainStirmKZ

Oh, I know exactly what it would do!

It would fry you into a fish stick.

wait ...the steel is boiling too?!

While any amount of current over 10 milliamps (0.01 amp) is capable of producing painful to severe shock, currents between 100 and 200 mA (0.1 to 0.2 amp) are lethal. Currents above 200 milliamps (0.2 amp), while producing severe burns and unconsciousness, do not usually cause death if the victim is given immediate attention. Now imagine what 50,000 amperes would do with a human body! :)

One person's already fallen into this furnace ;)

[rossyboy1081]

Imagine if it got on your skin...

that must be really hot
