Introduction to inductive arc furnaces and EBT value

inductive arc furnaces and EBT value

Inductive arc furnaces play a vital role in various industrial processes, particularly in the melting and refining of metals. To ensure optimal performance and efficiency, maintaining the EBT (Eccentric Bottom Tapping) value of these furnaces is essential. The EBT value refers to the distance between the furnace’s electrode and the molten bath. However, numerous challenges arise in sustaining the desired EBT value, such as erosion, wear, and refractory lining degradation. In recent years, the usage of olivine sand as a filling material for the EBT value has gained significant attention due to its promising properties. This article explores the potential of olivine sand as an effective solution for maintaining the EBT value in inductive arc furnaces. It delves into the benefits, experimental studies, application procedures, performance evaluation, and future prospects of using olivine sand as an EBT filler.
