  • Spray cooling furnace electrodes with a cooling liquid that contains surfactants
    Patent number: 11979968
    Abstract: A method for cooling furnace electrodes using a cooling liquid containing surfactants. This method can be applied to electrodes used in electric arc furnaces and ladle metallurgy furnaces. The method can involve spraying the cooling liquid onto the electrode, thereby lowering the temperature of the electrode and reducing electrode consumption.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 15, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2024
    Assignee: CHEMTREAT, INC.
    Inventors: Joseph S. Strasser, Jeffrey R. Tanski
  • METHODS OF PROTECTING FURNACE ELECTRODES WITH COOLING LIQUID THAT CONTAINS AN ADDITIVE
    Publication number: 20230254953
    Abstract: A method for forming a protective antioxidative barrier on the furnace electrodes using a chemically altered cooling liquid containing an antioxidant additive. This method can be applied to electrodes used in electric arc furnaces and ladle metallurgy furnaces. The method can involve spraying the cooling liquid onto the electrode, thereby forming the protective antioxidative barrier and reducing the oxidation of the electrode.
