Definitions
- the technical problem underlying the present invention is that of providing novel electrodes allowing to overcome the abovementioned drawbacks, in particular allowing to reduce the consumption thereof and therefore the maintenance interventions.
- the electrode 10 is provided with an axial hole 19, first means for ejecting a fluid comprising a nozzle 20 being housed therein.
- the nozzle 20 water-cooled by means of a cooling duct 18 running therethrough, is slidable inside of the hole 19.
- the fluid 22 comprises at least one heat decomposable Carbon-rich combustible component, in particular a gaseous hydrocarbon selected from the group comprising methane, ethane, propane, butane and mixtures thereof, and it is denominated 'reactive fluid' as it is apt to carry out a reducing/combustible action, with metallurgic functions analogous to those of coal usually found inside of an electric furnace.
- the fluid 22 exits the ejecting nozzle, crossing the end section of the axial hole of the electrode at a suitable rate, heating up, yet not slowly enough to undergo substantial chemical transformations, until reaching the tip 14 of the electrode 10 whereat its molecular breaking is carried out by the heat provided by an electric arc.
- the electrode 10 (graphite and metallic material versions) further comprises second means 23 for ejecting a second fluid 24. Said means 23 is positioned onto the cylinder-shaped surface of the electrode 10, bottomwise to the body 16.
- the nozzle head 21 may comprise a single inlet, from which a fluid, optionally in a mixture formed with at least one fluid reactive component is injected, or it may comprise a plurality of outlets, each corresponding to a reactive fluid ejected and fed separately from the other fluids.
- the electric arc 15 radiates less towards the refractory walls of the furnace 1, reducing the entailed damage thereto and also improving heat transmission to the bath 12.
- the mentioned results have been constantly sought in steelshop electric furnaces, during flat bath operation steps, by generating foaming slags or reducing the electrical power, entailing bath oxidation and productivity decrease, respectively.
- the shortening of the electric arc attained by this method reduces the need to employ materials (C, CaCO 3 , carbides) to generate foaming slags.
- foaming slag generation is extremely difficult and costly in terms of Cr yield, Cr being oxidized by the generation-required Oxygen.
- the employ of the electrode subject-matter of the present invention allowed to generally decrease the environmental impact, owing to reduced:
