Abstract

The constant evolution of the steel industry emphasizes how sustainability and flexibility are strategic parameters of increasing importance in the production process of steel. Tenova, in cooperation with its partner ABB, has made available to the market the Consteerrer®, an innovative ArcSave®-based electromagnetic stirring technology jointly developed by ABB and Tenova for continuously charging EAF systems. The paper presents the main features of the technology that Hasçelik selected for its first electric furnace as the optimal solution to successfully meet the challenges of the Turkish market in which the plant will operate. Consteel® EAF combined with Consteerrer® helps producing high quality steel as well as significantly reducing the production cost, ensuring high flexibility in terms of both material charge and finished product. The solution chosen by Hasçelik will be the first continuously charged EAF in Turkey and will give the opportunity to leverage the inherent flexibility of the Consteel® EAF to tackle the declining scrap availability and quality as the continuous charge makes the process intrinsically robust to the variation of the scrap density, quality and content of volatile compounds. The combination with an optimized application of the Consteerrer® EMS reduces the thermal process losses, increases the melting speed, homogenizes the liquid steel and reduces the oxygen content of the bath.
