Metal smelting is a critical step in metallurgical production, which allows obtaining molten material ready for further processing and shaping. Depending on the requirements for the final product and the characteristics of the material, various types of furnaces for metal smelting are used. OOO "EURASIAN DEVICES" is your reliable partner in the field of express analysis of metal melts, presents an overview of some of them.
Electric Arc Furnaces: This is one of the most common types of furnaces for metal smelting. They operate on the principle of an electric arc formed between electrodes and molten material. This type of furnace has high efficiency and controllability of the smelting process, which makes it suitable for a wide range of metals.
Blast Furnaces: Blast furnaces are a traditional method of smelting iron ore to produce pig iron. During the smelting process, the ore is mixed with coke and flux and then fired at high temperatures. The result is pig iron, which can then be processed into steel.
Electric Steelmaking Furnaces: This type of furnace uses electricity to melt metal. They are commonly used to remelt scrap steel, as well as to produce special types of steel with specific chemical properties.
Induction Furnaces: Induction furnaces operate on the principle of induction. They create an alternating magnetic field that heats the metal without coming into contact with it. This method is highly efficient and allows high temperatures to be reached quickly.
Crucible Furnaces: Crucible furnaces are used to melt metals in small volumes. They are often used in laboratory settings to obtain accurate results.
The choice of furnace type depends on many factors, including the type of metal, quality requirements, production volume, and economic conditions. EURASIAN DEVICES LLC provides express analysis tools for metal melts, which allow metallurgical enterprises to control and optimize melting processes. Our products provide high accuracy and reliability, making us a reliable partner for the metallurgical industry.
