Ladle Furnace

Working Principle
The Ladle Furnace (LF) is a secondary refining unit used after steel tapping from the EAF or BOF.
Electrical energy supplied through graphite electrodes is used to maintain and increase molten steel temperature, while alloy additions, slag refining and argon stirring are performed to achieve precise control of steel chemistry and cleanliness.
LF technology is widely applied to improve steel quality, temperature consistency and production flexibility before continuous casting.
