摘要
The electric arc furnace (E.A.F.)born in Europe in the year 1900 sustained a wide development along the century either by the production capacities installed, either by the power and capacity of individual furnaces. It became the only melting equipment for stainless steels and low alloyed special steels. The pace of development was on the dependence of improvements in electro-technology and on available electric power together with its distribution grid. Nowadays E.A.F. power level of one MVA/t of capacity is available and charges of 150 tare melted in less than one hour. EAF became a tough competitor to other steel-making routes.
