Abstract

In order to increase output of alloy steels at the Gussstahlwerk Witten in Germany a basic hot-blast cupola was installed whereby scrap is melted into liquid iron which is charged either into an open hearth or into an LD converter, used largely for duplexing with electric-arc furnaces. The 23-metric-ton-per-hr cupola has proven successful in combination with these units in producing high-quality steels.
