An electric arc furnace (EAF) is a furnace that heats material by means of an electric arc. Industrial arc furnaces range in size from small units of approximately one-tonne capacity (used in foundries for producing cast iron products) up to about 400-tonne units used for secondary steelmaking. Arc furnaces used in research laboratories and by ...
The Submerged-arc furnace for phosphorus production is a particular sub-type of electric arc furnace used to produce phosphorus and other products. Submerged arc furnaces are mainly used for the production of ferroalloys. The nomenclature submerged means that the furnace's electrodes are buried deep in the furnace burden.
Stassano furnace exhibited at the Museo nazionale della scienza e della tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci. The Stassano furnace is an electric arc furnace for the production of steel. Invented by Ernesto Stassano in 1898, it is the first electric furnace in history for ferrous metallurgy. [1]
Electric arc furnaces (EAFs), which apply current to the metal via electrodes over an electric arc. The Flodin furnace is an early EAF, specially designed to smelt iron from ore through the direct addition of carbon; Electric induction furnaces, which heat the metal through eddy currents, requiring metal mostly free of gangue and corrosion
Halcomb installed the first Héroult furnace in the US. [1] The invention of the electric arc furnace probably began when Humphry Davy discovered the carbon arc in 1800. Then in 1878 Carl Wilhelm Siemens patented, constructed and operated both direct and indirect EAFs. Commercial use still needed to wait for larger supplies of electricity and ...
[nb 2] On December 5, 1957, the Mexican company Hylsa started up the first industrial production unit of this type in Monterrey, with the pre-reduced ore obtained destined for smelting in an electric arc furnace. [nb 3] [4] As the production of pre-reduced ore with natural gas was economically viable, several plants were built in the late 1960s.

By the 1950s Templeborough's open hearth furnaces were in need of replacement and the United Steel Companies set about the task of updating its melting facilities. Plans, under the name “Operation SPEAR” (Steel Peech Electric Arc Reorganization), brought the most modern electric arc furnaces to the company, six of these replacing the 14 ...
