Quantum Furnace is super cool! From the looks of it, you've increased electrical efficiency by preheating scrap thus decreasing heat to charge temperature differential, decreasing tap-to-tap times by "priming" the next charge, and greatly reduced times to change vessels. Really fascinating work!

[@phuturephunk]

In a nutshell.

[@noneyabidness7226]

I ran a furnace like this for years. It's a maintenance nightmare. The preheated scrap is constantly dripping in the bath, changing the temp and chemistry. Pieces occasionally fall in break electrodes. Long story short, the company ended up ditching the shaft and running it old school.

[@sup2069]

@@noneyabidness7226 what's the old school method?

[@deandeann1541]

Maybe a coke fired furnace? Or maybe gas because they are not smelting?

I just mean they ditched the shaft and started dropping scrap straight in the furnace.

And the best part is that with this process, the steel plant sounds like a EDM nightclub instead of the usual industrial noises.

[@mysock351C]

Preheating the scrap makes a lot of sense. Drives off all the crap that could cause explosions, and also recovers quite a bit of waste heat from the process that would otherwise be used in heating the scrap charge.

[@xy4489]

Scrap is/was always preheated in any arc furnace, though.

Exactly how the myans did it

[@LinasVepstas]

The Mayans? I read somewhere that they used spacecraft exhaust, not electric arc.

[@deandeann1541]

I'm not sure how the Mayans did it, other than it likely involved human sacrifice to their steel god.

[@yyyyy354]

Lol mayan didn't have access for iron yet. It was aztec, but even then, their technology was still at infancy. They made use of iron's magnetic characteristics to induce controlled ferroresonance, which in turn cause the molecules to line up into specific orientation. Then by exciting the synchronized protons, they forced each adjacent atoms to recombine into higher order. While interesting, this method was inefficient, and even creates final waste in the form of gold. That's why they quicky exhausted their ore supplies. By the time conquestadors came, the aztecs no longer posses iron but tons of scrap gold
