Melting furnace, especially an arc melting furnace, with a bottom vessel, in which the furnace wall contains at least one water cooling box welded of steel plate and disposed above the melt level, whose surface facing the furnace interior is provided with projections which facilitate the adhesion of a refractory protective layer formed on this surface, wherein the wall of the water cooling box, which faces the furnace interior, has a thickness of at least 15 mm, the projections are formed of profile irons, and a refractory composition applied beforehand serves as the refractory protective layer. Also, a seam or flange between the upper edge of the bottom vessel and the water cooling box so as to catch water flowing down the inside of the furnace and to pass it outwardly.

Melting furnace

A cover for an arc furnace having a plurality of electrodes extending through a central area of the cover, a first cooling box surrounding the electrodes and a second cooling box in the outer area surrounding the central area of the cover. The first cooling box is subdivided into a plurality of cooling areas respectively associated with the plurality of electrodes, the cooling areas being electrically insulated from each other and from the second cooling box.
