Abstract

PARE has developed an electrode wear monitoring system. Theyhave implemented such systems at the three electric arc furnaces(two DC, one AC) located in Luxembourg. The goal of these systemsis twofold: first it allows the steelmaker to continuously monitor itsgraphite consumption and relate it to the furnace operating conditions;second it allows a feedback to the electrode suppliers for qualitymonitoring.
