What's the Ferrosilicon Furnace Pressure Ring?

The ferrosilicon furnace pressure ring, namely the submerged arc furnace pressure ring (also called arc furnace pressure rings or resistance furnace pressure rings), is the main component of the electrode of submerged arc furnaces for conducting electricity, and is also the key component for maintaining and adjusting the electrode. It is located in the electrode holder, and is mainly used to press the electrode to the copper tile, ensuring that the current passes through the copper tile evenly into the furnace, thereby realizing the smelting process.

Features of Ferrosilicon Furnace Pressure Ring

1. Function:

• Conductive: The pressure rings is the conductive part in the electrode holder, which transmits the current to the furnace.

• Pressing the electrode: By pressing the copper tile, the electrode is in close contact with the copper tile, improving the conductivity, and ensuring the stability of the electrode during the smelting process.

• Maintaining & adjusting the electrode: The furnace pressure ring can realize the maintenance and adjustment of the electrode, ensuring the position and state of the electrode in the furnace to adapt to the changes in the smelting process.

2. Working environment:

• High temperature: The internal environment temperature of the submerged arc furnaces extremely high, and the pressure rings must withstand the test of high temperature and thermal radiation.

• Conductive: Heat is generated during the process of its own conduction, which increases the difficulty of the working environment of the pressure ring.

• Heat flow: The submerged arc furnace pressure ring needs to have sufficient cooling capacity to withstand the strong heat flow from the furnace.

3. Mainly used for:

• Production of ferroalloys: such as ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrochrome, ferrotungsten, etc.

• Reduction smelting: used for reduction smelting of raw materials such as ore, carbonaceous reducing agent, solvent, etc.

4. Working principle:

• The current is transmitted to the electrode through the copper tile, and then enters the ferrosilicon furnace for smelting.

• The ferrosilicon furnace pressure ring presses the electrode to the copper tile through its own structure to ensure the stable transmission of current.

• The cooling system of the pressure ring can reduce its own temperature, thereby ensuring its stable operation in harsh environments.

In short, the submerged arc furnace pressure ring is a vital component in smelting furnaces such as ferrosilicon furnaces. Its good working condition is crucial to ensure the normal operation of furnaces such as submerged arc furnaces and the stability of the smelting process.
