What is the difference between AOD refining furnace and melting furnace ?

The difference between AOD refining furnace and melting furnace

The AOD refining furnace is an ironmaking shaft furnace with a circular cross section . The steel plate is used as the furnace shell , and the lining is filled with refractory brick lining . The blast furnace body is divided into the furnace throat, the furnace body, the furnace waist, the belly, and the furnace from top to bottom . cylinder 5 parts. The main products are pig iron blast furnace.

Converter means rotatable furnace for steelmaking blowing or blowing metallurgical furnace matte. BOF vessel made of steel, cylindrical, refractory lined, heated by the chemical reaction heat of blowing, without external heat source, is the most important steelworks, also be used for copper and nickel smelting.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The melting furnace is generally more expensive, but it can blow oxygen and remove carbon, which is convenient for carbon reduction.

The melting furnace saves some electricity, and it is convenient to refine different steel types, but it is troublesome for carbon reduction. See what steel you use to refine it? It depends on your use. The intermediate frequency furnace is mainly applied to steelmaking foundries, etc. The electric resistance furnace is mainly heat-treated . The AOD refining furnace is a smelting furnace and its use is different .
