摘要

A metallurgical furnace including a vessel, in turn having a lower shell for containing the metal bath, the metal bath being composed of molten metal and an overlying layer of slag, wherein the lower shell is tiltingly supported and is provided with a deslagging opening for evacuating the slag and with a tapping opening for tapping the molten metal, and an upper shell removably positioned on the lower shell and provided with at least one inlet opening for feeding, through the same, charge material in the solid state or in the molten state, a closing roof for the upper closing of the vessel, wherein the closing roof is removably positioned on the upper shell and is provided with a passage opening for the passage, through the same, of at least one electrode and at least one charge opening for feeding, through the same, charge material in the solid state, wherein at least one of the inlet openings, the passage opening, the charge opening is closed or can be associated with a closing element of the removable type, and wherein the lower shell has a diameter D and the vessel has an overall height H ranging from 0.70 D to 1.25 D, preferably ranging from 0.70 D to 0.80 D if the furnace is used as an electric arc furnace and from 0.80 D to 1.25 D if the furnace is used as a converter.
