The manufacturing process requires efficient cleaning equipment to remove spilled iron and aluminum metal from the furnace’s walls and floor. To cope with the flow of metal, it is essential to monitor the temperature of melted metals like zinc and aluminum. In this content we would like to introduce our main product, Calorized (CA) Lance pipe and discuss the quality benefits and applications of CA lance pipe.
Thermic Lance and its Applications
Thermic Lance (TL) is one of the high-performance products. Because of its varied uses, there are different needs and requirements for employing Thermic Lance. For effective use of the Thermic Lance, it is most favorable to comprehensively understand which type of Thermic Lance should be used precisely with its various applications.
In this content, we are trying to provide overall information with concrete examples of Thermic Lance applications.
Three Basic Types of Oxygen Lance Pipes for Electric Arc Furnace
Steel manufacturing by Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is getting more accepted
day by day due to the decrease of 3/4 th amount of carbon emitted to the
environment. More and more steel makers are enhancing the production
performance and also treating the environment well. And subsequently,
there is a trend of shift from Blast Furnace to Electric Arc Furnace
extensively.
Each lance pipe that is used for the Electric Arc Furnace has several
purposes to improve the performance of steel making process. However,
there are some customers who still have concern about what kind of lance
pipe is suitable for the steel-making process in an Electric Arc Furnace, or
what type of lance pipe is applicable for ladle furnace cleaning and taphole
drilling. Thus, it is important that electric furnace steelmakers should
comprehend that there are appropriate lance pipes available for each
process.
Today, in this content, we are going to introduce the general processes in
which lance pipes are required at each process in EAF steelmaking, so that
customers can certainly improve the production by developing the
performance and cost saving.
Thermic Lance and the Demolition Test of Concrete Structures
To pull down a building, the concrete is crushed using an excavator, and then the steel is cut with an oxyacetylene torch. Though, excavators cannot be used in various high-rise structures, also the oxyacetylene torch cannot deal with concrete demolition. Working for concrete demolition and pulling down of mining closure is a dangerous task, and thermic lance-using construction businesses are ignorant of what to look for to ensure safety. There is a knowledge gap about the use of thermic lances to deal with hardened concrete demolition. It is optimal for the customers to find a suitable method to have concrete demolition and steel structures with highly considered safety and security for old high-rise buildings that cannot be demolished by excavators because of lack of sufficient space.
In this content, we’d like to discuss about thermic lance and its one of the various solutions for cutting hardened concrete structures in high-rise buildings not including the use of an excavator.
Thermic Lance with Aluminium Wires: Economical Substitute for Scrap Cutting
Thermic Lance is one of the useful performance products. The demands and requirements to using Thermic Lance varies depending on different purposes. Also, there are cases where typical thermic lances with steel wires do not provide enough power of fire for combustion. At times, it takes large quantities of pipe for cutting large scraps. After a long time of usage of Thermic Lance, it becomes difficult for the operators to hold it therefore a newly introduced thermic lances with aluminum wires makes it lighter in weight and easy to handle. It is also optimal to use Thermic Lance with aluminum wires as the cutting operation can be performed very efficiently.
Thus, in this segment, we’d like to introduce our new Thermic Lance with aluminum wires and also the test result to ensure good performance quality of the same.
Various types of Lance Pipes and their usage in Blast Furnace and Electric Furnace
Every steel making processes uses different kinds of lance pipes. The Lance pipes primarily used in Blast Furnace (BF) and Electric Furnace (EF) are of various kinds as well. Hence, the customers must consider which lance type would be suitable for their specified stage in the steel production for better and effective performance.
In most cases, the customers are unaware about which particular lance would be required for a specific process in steel making. Thus, today we shall discuss about the variation of the lance pipes and their usage in each stage of the steel making process. This will help the customer manage the purchase plan considering the most suitable lance in accordance with their demands.
Use of Renewable Energy in Steel Manufacturing
We already know that steel is manufactured from liquid iron from Blast Furnace. The heat from the BF’s stove area melts the metal by transforming pushed air into hot air. Whereas steel is manufactured from scrap in an Electric Arc Furnace. In general, EAFs generate heat using two separate types of Electrical Currents. These are the primary knowledge of the steel manufacturing process.
But today we shall be discussing about an important topic which is quite a point in the Steel World. It is the use of Renewable Energy in Steel manufacturing.
Safety and Effectiveness of Thermic Lance
Thermal Lances are used by many customers throughout the world. Many of them contemplates the safety and success of using Thermic Lance. It is usually used in steel mills, or construction sites as its small size and proven capability to cut solid and large pieces of steel scraps by generating a high temperature of up to 3,000oC ~ 4,000oC.
Therefore, today we are going to discuss about the steps to be followed for using Thermic Lances safely and effectively.
Benefits of Thermic Lances in EAF
Decarbonization is improving the environment in a positive way by transforming the global economy. Previously, the steel production was generally carried out in the Blast Furnaces but now Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) can be used in a different and more environment friendly way by using a metallurgical furnace which uses steel scraps as raw materials for generating steel rather than iron ores.
Therefore, today we shall be going to discuss about the benefits of Thermic Lance in EAF. Here, we will also see how EAF works to maximize operational systems and understand which type of Thermic Lance is applied for which situation.
Thermic Lance – an optimum solution for cutting large scrap materials
According to the World Steel Association’s Statistical Report, global demand for steel will increase by 2.2% in 2022. This signifies that the steel manufacturers must enhance their steel manufacturing process to get closer to the fast growth of steel demand all over the world. This has also increased the demand for scrap recycling in current years.
Although, large scrap recycling is one of the time consuming and cost ineffective step in the steel manufacturing process for taking into consideration.
This is why today we shall discuss about how Thermic Lance is effective for cutting Large Scrap Materials and help in daily steel production in the long run.
