Submerged Arc Furnace for production of ferroalloys

It is possible to produce some ferroalloys through aluminothermic process for the high melting alloys of free carbon. Submerged Arc Furnaces are a specific heating system used to smelt a range of ferro-alloys via the use of electrical power. Some selected advantages of the SAF are simple, safe maintenance and high process efficiency. Small and pilot plant furnaces are available. Ferroalloy electric furnaces, also known as submerged electric furnaces or submerged arc furnaces, are all heated by electric arc and equipped with two graphite electrodes. The ferroalloy electric furnace body is circular. The furnaces capacity is 0.12 MVA. It can produce any ferroalloy using coke and ore.
