Ladle Furnace (LF/LMF) and Trimming Station
State-of-the-art equipment for ladle metallurgy treatment and refining, ensure the precise control of the steel temperature and chemical composition for improved productivity, flexibility and quality. For ordinary, special and stainless steel grades.
Overview
The ladle furnace (LF) makes it possible to divide the steel melting operations, carried out in EAF, from those of treatment and refining. The liquid steel produced by the EAF is poured into the ladle, which serves as a reactor for metallurgical operations at the treatment stations. The ladle is transported under the LF hood, where alloying and reheating operations are performed to target values for the next process station.
Adjustments to the liquid steel are managed by the process automation system that, by monitoring the actual operating conditions, adjusts the treatment practice as per the parameters of maximum efficiency and quality of the steel to be produced.
