Brief introduction of submerged arc furnace 

Steelmaking submerged arc furnace are used for melting quality carbon steel and kinds of 

alloy steel. Their normal capacities are from 3 T to 100 T. 

It is an important smelting furnace in metallurgical industry for porudction of industrial raw material and calcium 

carbide and so on chemical raw materials. Electrode insert into the materials as furnace lining, use self roasting 

electrode.  Electrode insert into the maerials inside the furnace for submerged arc operation, using arc energy 

and current throught the materials. 

Submerged arc furnace is devided into three layers 

The first layer is furnarce body 

The second layer
