MINI
STEEL PLANT EMPLOYING ELECTRIC ARC
Technology/Process Description:
Production Process: The main raw material in Billet Manufacturing
process is mild steel scrap which is procured from local and international
markets. The scrap is mixed in pre-determined proportions in the scrap yard and
fed to the furnaces in charging buckets and melted by Electric Arc using
Graphite Electrodes. The molten metal is processed to remove the impurities
like sulphur and phosphorous and is subjected to slag off and further refining
by adding Ferro alloys and other fluxes to bring it to the required standard
specifications. Liquid metal samples are analyzed at frequent intervals to
ensure quality if the product as per I.S. The molten steel is tapped at the required
temperature to the pre-heated ladles. Steel ladles are equipped with latest
slide gate opening system. Temperature of the molten metal in the ladle is
measured to ensure correct temperature at the continuous casting machine. The
liquid metal is then poured from ladle to the tundish and then to the water
cooled copper mould on continuous casting machine. There takes place the billet
formation by solidification of the molten steel due to water cooling. Billets
of 100 mm square coming out of the continuous casting machine are cut to the
required length by gas cutting and are again subjected to stringent quality
inspection and stacked according to color codes specified by BIS.
The
Billets are further rolled and converted into constructional steel of various
section at Rolling Mills.
