(一)前言 电弧炉电极自动连接装置,是近年来炉前炼钢操作上较大的技术发展之一。随着电弧炉容量的日益扩大,电极直径与重量也相应增加,依靠徒手连接已不能适应生产要求,为此急需研制一种自动化装置,以取代人工操作,这是必然的趋势,目前各国从事这项研制工作的,为数不少,而且进展较快,已由开始的半自动逐步向全自动迈进。 (A) of the preface Electric arc furnace electrode automatic connection device, is in recent years steelmaking operation of the larger one of the technical development. With the increasing capacity of the electric arc furnace, the electrode diameter and weight also increased accordingly, relying on bare hands can no longer meet the production requirements, an urgent need to develop an automated device to replace manual operation, which is an inevitable trend, the current countries engaged in The number of research and development work, a large number, but also made rapid progress, from the beginning of the semi-automatic step by step toward full automation.
