Open hearth furnace workers at the Zaporizhstal steel mill in Ukraine taking a steel sample, c. 2012 Tapping open-hearth furnace, VEB Rohrkombinat Riesa, East Germany, 1982. An open-hearth furnace or open hearth furnace is any of several kinds of industrial furnace in which excess carbon and other impurities are burnt out of pig iron to produce ...
Siemens-Martin open hearth furnace. The process of refining steel in a hearth, as developed by Pierre-Émile Martin, consists of smelting a mixture of cast iron and scrap or ore, then refining it by decarburization, desulfurization and dephosphorization. This method makes it possible to produce fine and alloy steels by adding noble elements.
The Seimens furnace is also known as an open hearth furnace in Australia. Not quite sure where the material on the Catalan forge belongs, but probably under open hearth furnace as well, it seems to be a predecessor of the Seimens process. Andrewa 18:45, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
As higher heats became possible, advanced methods of retort bench firing were introduced, catalyzed by the development of the open hearth furnace by Siemens, circa 1855–1870, leading to a revolution in gas-works efficiency. Isometric view of a regenerative retort bench (1921) Specifically, the two major advances were:
The first blast furnace was blown [7] in May 1896. In 1900, the plant employed 3,200 workers. In 1915, the plant had 5 blast furnaces, 7 open-hearth furnaces, and rolling mills. [8] The 90's were a rough time for AMC. Beginning in 1997 it underwent bankruptcy proceedings.
In 1927, it was reported that the equipment at the plant included a 90-ton tilting furnace, two 50-ton and three 40-ton fixed open-hearth furnaces, in addition to a 30-inch cogging mill and a 28-inch finishing mill. [9] The company's name was changed to Round Oak Steel Works Limited on 14 December 1936. [10]

By 1962 five of the six open hearth furnaces at the plant had been converted. [1] Conversion time of the open hearths to the oxygen-based process was around 28 days on average, with a stated capital cost of £180,000 each. [4] In 1966 the Appleby-Frodingham steelworks decided to replace the AJAX production with Linz-Donawitz (LD) converters. [3]
