What is the difference between arc furnace and submerged arc furnace

2024-05-16 14:05

In today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, it is essential to understand the differences and unique applications of various types of furnaces. Two commonly used furnaces in the industry are the arc furnace and the submerged arc furnace. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the intricacies of both types of furnaces, their temperatures, and explore the exceptional features of the FERROSILICON DC SUBMERGED ARC FURNACE 100~20000KVA offered by YOUNENGDE.


Arc Furnace vs. Submerged Arc Furnace: What's the Difference?

An arc furnace utilizes an electric arc to generate heat for melting or heating materials. The electric arc is formed between two electrodes, creating a high-intensity light and heat. These furnaces are widely used for various applications, including steelmaking, foundry work, and waste recycling.


On the other hand, a submerged arc furnace (SAF) is a type of electric furnace that utilizes a covered electrode to create an electric arc. The electrode is immersed in a granular material, which acts as a conductor and an insulator simultaneously. This unique design allows for better control over the electric arc and improved energy efficiency. SAFs are primarily used for producing ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, such as iron, copper, and aluminum.


Temperature of a Submerged Arc Furnace

The temperature inside a submerged arc furnace depends on the specific application and the materials being processed. Generally, these furnaces can reach temperatures ranging from 1,000°C to 3,000°C. The precise temperature is crucial for achieving the desired properties of the final product and ensuring efficient processing.
