Modern oxy-fuel burner/injectors in electric arc furnaces (EAFs) play a crucial role in the melting of scrap steel and refining processes. However, the intense thermal conditions they endure can lead to operational inefficiencies and safety hazards. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of high-resolution Rayleigh backscattering-based fiber optic sensors, located within the oxy-fuel burner/injector panel of a DC EAF, to monitor temperature variations. Sensors were strategically placed 28.7 mm from the panel's hot face and operated continuously over two production days. The results revealed localized hot spots, providing valuable spatial temperature distribution that correlated with key operational parameters such as furnace power and oxygen flow. Notably, temperatures exceeded 176 °C in certain areas after specific operational cycles. The findings highlighted that variable slag coverage on the burner panel significantly contributed to overheating. This research underscores the potential of distributed fiber optic sensing technology to enhance thermal management and operational safety within modern EAF steelmaking processes.
