Method and device for determining the consumption of electrode material during operation of an electric furnace

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for determining the consumption of electrode material in the operation of an electric furnace, in particular an electric arc furnace for producing steel, the method comprising determining the weight of at least one electrode string arranged in or inserted into the electric furnace with a weighing device. The present invention further relates to a device for determining the consumption of electrode material of an electric furnace, in particular an electric arc furnace for producing steel, wherein the device comprises a weighing device for determining the weight of at least one arranged in the electric furnace or to be introduced into this electrode strand, wherein the weighing device in an operating device of a system comprising the electric furnace is integrated. With the method according to the invention and with the device according to the invention, it is also possible to determine vibration states of an electrode strand during the operation of an electric furnace.
