Problem statement

  • No objective control of metal purging with argon

Solution

Monitors and controls:

  • metal purging with argon
  • free board of the ladle
  • technical condition of the ladle cover
  • alloying and slag forming materials get into the ladle
  • electrodynamic modes of work of electric arc unit

Effects

Reduction of argon consumption
Reducing the electricity consumption
Increasing the production safety
Increasing the quality of the end product
