A ladle furnace is an essential part of the secondary steelmaking process. After the primary melting in an electric arc furnace (EAF) or blast furnace, the molten steel is transferred to a ladle furnace for refining. Here, alloying elements can be added, impurities can be reduced, and the temperature of the steel can be precisely controlled, ensuring that the steel meets the desired specifications before casting. The ladle furnace allows for more precise adjustments to the steel’s composition and temperature, ensuring a higher-quality end product.
