What Does EAF Stand For?

EAF stands for Electric Arc Furnace

EAF, or Electric Arc Furnace, is a type of industrial furnace that uses electrical energy to produce steel and other metals through the melting of scrap materials. It operates by generating high-temperature arcs between carbon electrodes, which facilitate the melting process. EAFs are known for their efficiency, flexibility, and lower environmental impact compared to traditional blast furnaces, making them a key technology in modern metallurgical processes.
