Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0896067A1] The method for determining the slag state in electric arc furnaces involves using a signal derived from the current i(t) flowing through the electrode (2). An n-th derivative of i(t) with respect to time is determined at given instants or continuously, where n may be equal to 2, 3 or 4. The effective value of this derivative is expressed as a mean square value over a specified integration period T. This value is compared with given limiting values to establish as to whether the slag state and the electrode cover are optimal. Also claimed is an apparatus which includes a current measurement unit (3), a differentiating unit (4), a checking unit (7) which produces a signal corresponding to the slag state. One or more lances (9) serve for introduction of carbonaceous material or oxygen into the furnace.
