Disclosed is an ore-smelting electrical furnace bath, in which smelting is accomplished with electrodes buried into the melted slag, comprising an externally cooled metallic jacket, a lining forming the walls and the bottom of the bath, and a sealing layer interposed therebetween. The walls of the bath in the melted slag zone are made from graphite-reinforced refractory blocks having a thickness at which the total thermal resistance of these blocks and of the sealing layer ranges from 0.01 to 0.09 m.sup.2 hr.deg./kcal. The lower portion of the aforesaid walls and the bottom are made from refractory carbon blocks.

Ore-smelting electrical furnace bath

A method for smelting charge materials in an electric arc furnace consists in that a bath of the electric arc furnace is loaded with the charge materials, electrodes of the electric arc furnace are supplied with an alternating current, the charge materials are melted, redox reactions are conducted and a finished melt and a slag are tapped, the alternating current of industrial frequency supplied to the electrodes of the electric arc furnace being first converted to one of a frequency ranging between 0.05 and 30 Hz. An apparatus for carrying into effect the above method comprises an electric arc furnace, in a bath of which are inserted electrodes. A secondary winding of a transformer is coupled with the electrodes through power supply arrangements. Between the electrodes and the transformer and in-between sections of the power supply arrangements is placed a frequency converter, control inputs of which are connected to outputs of a frequency converter control unit having inputs coupled with the power supply arrangements on the side of the electrodes of the electric arc furnace. The apparatus also comprises a unit for controlling the power input to the electric arc furnace, connected to the power supply arrangements on the side of the electrodes and intended for generating a signal energizing an electrode positioning mechanism.

Method and apparatus for smelting charge materials in electric arc

An electric furnace for the melting of metallic and non-metallic charge, comprising an annular hearth which houses the electrodes connected to a power supply. The central zone of the furnace can accommodate the spouts for discharging the melt, supports with electrode holders, furnace transformers or gas cleaning devices.
