This final phase included:
* Comprehensive safety reviews and manual checks
* Verification of EAF limits, switches, controls, and moving components
* Water system checks and meter modifications
The result - A great success
The furnace was charged, electrodes arced, and we melted four tonnes of steel. The first tapping was completed smoothly.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to:
*Collaborate with steelmakers and metal recycling companies
* Advance client specific and collaborative steel research
*Unlock new opportunities with this cutting-edge EAF
Busy and exciting times are ahead….
