FUNCTION……
Pig iron, sponge iron, limes and ferroalloy is charged
from the top of Electric Arc Furnace.

Arcing melt the contents and Oxygen is blown.

Steel is tapped and chemistry correction is done

in ladle refining furnace.

Liquid steel is casted and then Slag is taken out from

slag door.
