CONARC

In seventies there were discussions amongst scientists and technologies about the future of pure top blown and pure bottom blown steelmaking. These discussions resulted into a combined top and bottom blown steelmaking technology which has almost replaced pure top blown and pure bottom blown steel making.

In recent years discussions are in progress about EAF and oxygen steelmaking with respect to use of energy and raw material.

The objective is to develop a technology utilizing benefits of both EAF and top blown steelmaking. CONARC is the resultant of such discussions.

What is CONARC?

The CONARC steelmaking process has been developed by Mannesman Demag. It combines electrode arc melting with the oxygen steelmaking process. The process consists of two shells with one 3 phase electrode arm and one top blowing lance for hot metal treatment.
