    This document summarizes the major types of melting furnaces: cupola furnaces, electric arc furnaces, and induction furnaces. Cupola furnaces are vertical shaft furnaces used to melt iron and consist of a steel shell lined with refractory bricks and equipped with air nozzles. Electric arc furnaces are used for steelmaking and melt scrap metal using an electric arc between electrodes and the metal bath. Induction furnaces use electromagnetic induction to melt metals and come in two types - coreless induction furnaces with a water-cooled coil and crucible, and channel induction furnaces with an inductor attached to the steel shell.

    ► The major types of Melting
    Furnaces :

    1- Cupola furnace.

    2- Electric Arc furnace.


    3- Induction furnace.

    10/28/2008 Eng/ Mohammed Abd Elghany


    1 ) Cupola furnace :

    10/28/2008 Eng/ Mohammed Abd Elghany


    1 ) Cupola furnace :

    - It is the most popular melting furnace.

    - It is shaft-like vertical furnace consisting of a steel shell


    lined with refractory bricks, equipped with tuyeres (nozzles
    for blowing air).

    - Iron, coke and limestone flux are charged by means of an


    opening locating in the upper half of the steel shell.

    - The liquid iron is periodically (or


    continuously) removed through a spout.

    10/28/2008 Eng/ Mohammed Abd Elghany


    2 ) Electric Arc
    furnace :

    10/28/2008 Eng/ Mohammed Abd Elghany


    2 ) Electric Arc
    furnace :
    - It is a steel making furnace,
    - in which steel scrap is heated and melted by heat of electric
    arcs striking between the furnace electrodes and the metal
    bath.
    - The furnace consists of a spherical hearth (bottom),
    cylindrical shell and a swinging water-cooled dome-shaped
    roof.
    - The main advantage of the Electric Arc Furnaces is it’s
    Capacity which may reach 400 t.

    10/28/2008 Eng/ Mohammed Abd Elghany


    3 ) Induction
    furnace :

    - Induction furnaces are widely used for melting non-


    ferrous and ferrous alloys.

    - There are two types of induction furnaces:


    a ) Coreless induction
    furnace .
    b ) Channel induction
    furnace .

    10/28/2008 Eng/ Mohammed Abd Elghany


    3 ) Induction
    furnace :

    10/28/2008 Eng/ Mohammed Abd Elghany


    3 ) Induction
    furnace :
    a) Coreless induction furnace:
    - It is consists of: a water cooled helical coil made of a copper
    tube, a crucible installed within the coil and supporting shell
    equipped with trunnions on which the furnace may tilt.

    b) Channel induction furnace:

    - It is consists of a steel shell lined with refractory materials


    and an inductor attached to the shell. There is a channel
    connecting the main body with the inductor.
