With this model, the EAF process in later stage of scarp melting was dynamically described, including time dependent variations of bath temperature, slag quantity, compositions of steel, slag and off-gas, etc. Steelmaking process in a domestic 100 ton UHP AC EAF was chosen as a computational example, and the simulated variations of temperature of hot metal and element contents was shown consistent with the actual process measurements within average error scopes of |△T| <15K, |[△A%C]| ≤ 0.036, |[△%Si]|≤0.00027, |[△%Mn]|≤0.002, |[△%P]|≤0.00089 and |[△%S]|≤0.001 respectively at the test points. The model will be extended to predict the whole production process including scrap melting procedure and evaluate its energy and material consumption, the production efficiency, etc., which will provide assistance for the improvement of EAF operation and control.展开更多
