SeAH Changwon Special Steel has placed an order with ABB for a second ABB ArcSave® electromagnetic stirrer for use on an electric arc furnace (EAF) at the SeAH Changwon Integrated Special Steel plant in South Korea.
ABB ArcSave will be installed on an EAF that produces carbon and stainless steel and has a steelmaking capacity of 100 tons. The technology is expected to improve furnace efficiency, reduce energy consumption and overall operating costs on the continuously operated EAF at Changwon.
The customer will be able to improve metallurgical conditions in the EAF melt using the ABB technology. The stirring solution can help reduce the carbon footprint at both existing steelmaking lines and greenfield projects.
The new order, which will be commissioned in late 2024, is the second from SeAH Steel and follows the installation of an ABB ArcSave electromagnetic stirrer on an EAF with a 70-tons production capacity.
