  • Abstract
    FERROALLOY furnaces form a special group of electric furnaces in which the electrodes are buried in the charge instead of standing over a bath of molten metal as they do in the steel melting furnaces. The main part of the energy is used to perform chemical reactions, such as the reduction of ores, and the subsequent combination of the resulting elements with iron or other elements such as carbon, and so forth.
