Recent advancements in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) have allowed for the integration of ultra high power transformers, enhancing melting efficiency while simultaneously increasing potential energy losses due to radiation. This study aims to investigate the effect of foamy slag height on the formation of hot spots within a 210-ton capacity industrial EAF using a radiation model. Utilizing temperature profiles from water-cooled panels, we computed incident radiation values as functions of the foamy slag height. The methodology involved detailed analysis of arc length variations and their implications on the thermal management of the furnace, particularly focusing on minimizing catastrophic operational conditions caused by hot spots. Results indicate that strategic adjustments in foamy slag height can effectively mitigate the concentration of incident radiation, thereby reducing the likelihood of hot spot development. This research contributes to optimizing EAF operational parameters, significantly enhancing thermal efficiency without compromising productivity in industrial metallurgical processes.
