THE APPLICATION AND SCALE-UP OF A.C. AND D.C. SMELTING FURNACES FOR FERRO-ALLOYS

摘要

This paper examines the technical issues that currently constrain large-sized ferro-alloy furnaces. The possibility of further scale-up is also studied, and each of the various constraints is investigated with a view to how it might be eased or even circumvented. It would appear that Ac. power may offer some critical advantages in this regard, and may even help to relieve some of the problems that existing large furnaces display.
