ABSTRACT:
In order to melt iron-containing material, particularly sponge iron, in an electric furnace containing a molten metal mass underlying a molten slag mass, electrodes are immersed in the molten slag mass, a current is caused to flow between the electrodes and is converted into melting heat by the electrical resistance of the slag, and the number of charge carriers in the slag is adjusted to control the conductivity of the slag and thus the ratio of the current flowing through the slag to the current flowing through the molten metal.
