Abstract
A method is provided for lengthening the life of electric arc furnace linings in the production of steel from scrap, while at the same time introducing sponge iron pellets to shorten the melting time. This is achieved by predetermining the increase in power at the arc-molten bath interface upon introduction of the sponge iron and automatically reducing the power factor in the circuits feeding the electrodes according to the predetermination, upon each introduction of sponge iron.
