Ladle Refining Furnace By Electrotherm (India) Ltd.

We are providing a precision engineered range of Ladle Refining Furnace to our esteemed customers. These Ladle Refining Furnaces are widely used for refining liquid steel, which aids in obtaining high quality structural and alloy steel.Ladle Refining of liquid metal is a proven technology to produce high quality steel. LRF is used to raise the temperature and adjust the chemical composition of molten metal.

Ladle Refining Furnaces (LRFs) are used to remove impurities, improve homogeneity and hold molten steel & superheat to required tapping temp, for subsequent casting operations.Ladle Refining Furnaces (LRFs) are used to desulphurise steel, remove other impurities and hold the molten steel for casting operations. Without LRFs, higher tap temperatures are normally required from steel making furnaces due to heat losses during refining with conventional ladles. Costs of extended furnace time, refractory wear and power/fuel consumption can all be reduced using LRFs to perform holding and refining.

Reduced scrap melting capacity in Basic Oxygen Furnaces (BOF) is another disadvantage of higher tap temperatures. The LRFs also acts as a buffer between the Steel Making Furnace (BOF) or the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) and the continuous caster, reducing casting costs and allowing greater flexibility in steel making operations.
