Patent number: 9500410Abstract: An electric arc furnace has a chamber suitable for containing molten steel, a roof covering the chamber and for containing a mass of scrap steel, electrodes for melting the mass of scrap, and a supporting base. The base permits the chamber to oscillate around a horizontal axis of rotation. The roof and the chamber are counterprofiled in correspondence to the respective interface walls to create a rotary coupling with regard to the axis of rotation. The roof, during oscillation of the chamber, remains fixed with regard to the base as well as in a closed position with regard to the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2009Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: SMS Concast Italia S.p.A.

Patent number: 9200845Abstract: An arc metallurgic furnace slagging door having an upper panel and a lower panel substantially vertically aligned with the upper panel, the panels being placed in front of a tunnel giving access to a furnace melting pot and in front of the slagging door for closing the tunnel. The upper panel is outwardly inclined with respect to the tunnel, and movable between a closed position and an open position which permits remarks and interventions to be conducted on molten metal. The lower panel is movable independently with respect to the upper panel between closing, cleaning and slagging positions.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2010Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: SMS CONCAST ITALIA S.p.A.Inventors: Stefano Miani, Bruno Rubeo

Patent number: 8758674Abstract: The invention relates to a furnace slag door, comprising at least one panel which is moveable, in a mounted state of the slag door, from an opened position, in which the panel is remote from a corresponding slag discharge opening within the furnace wall to a closed position, in which the panel covers at least part of said slag discharge opening. The invention further comprises a corresponding furnace equipped with such slag door. The furnace is, in particular, an electric arc furnace (EAF) but may be as well of another type.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: SMS Concast Italia SpAInventor: Stefano Miani

Publication number: 20120134384Abstract: This invention concerns an electric arc furnace comprising a chamber suitable for containing molten steel; a roof suitable for covering the chamber and for containing a mass of scrap steel; electrodes suitable for melting the mass of scrap, and means of support on a base. The latter means are such as to support the chamber and permit its oscillation around a horizontal axis of rotation. The roof and the chamber are counterprofiled in correspondence to the respective interface walls to create a rotoidal type coupling with regard to the axis of rotation. The roof, during oscillation of the chamber, remains fixed with regard to the base as well as in a closed position with regard to the chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2009Publication date: May 31, 2012Applicant: SMS CONCAST ITALIA S.R.L.Inventors: Stefano Miani, Bruno Rubeo
