Resumo
In the past few years, the CONSTEEL® Process has represented a completely new approach to the melting process, transforming the charging, melting and refining operation of the furnace from batch to continuous. This continuity allows a more efficient use of energy during the entire process and permits the operation in a better-controlled environment. The worldwide acceptance of this technology has been demonstrated by the growing number of plants under construction: In the last year alone, 5 new units have been commissioned. This paper analyzes the reasons of this success and new developments of this technology; in particular, the continuous hot metal charge to the EAF combined with the CONSTEEL® technology.
