The ArCOS Furnace Automation Concept - Much More than a Simple Electrode Control System

摘要

A good understanding of the EAF process combined with the experience of furnace operation of the last decades is the tool for being able to optimize electric arc furnaces. As the process has lots of details, it is inevitable to get as much support from high developed automation systems as possible. Steadily reaching for the process optimum will result in a good furnace performance. The ArCOS electrode control system is one of the most powerful tools supporting producers to reach their targets.
