Since high spalling resistance and erosion due to the flow of molten steel, high corrosion resistance is required. Therefore, in the furnace bottom electrode, a furnace bottom electrode member containing carbon such as MgO-C quality, Al 2 O 3 -C quality, etc. is used in the electrical conduction part, and heating and melting treatment of steel and slag are performed while energizing. There are cases. When the electric resistance value of the furnace bottom electrode member is high, there is a problem that desired energization cannot be obtained and heat is generated due to the electric resistance inside the furnace bottom electrode member to deteriorate the durability of the refractory.
