medium scrap with specific surface area of 2–5 m2 t1; and 3)
heavy scrap with specific surface area <2 m2 t1. Scrap melting
rate is shown as a function of specific surface area in Figure 6.
The scrap melting rate is inversely proportion to the specific
surface area of the scrap. When the specific surface area is less
than 5 m2 t1, increasing the specific surface area can effectively
improve the scrap melting rate. In contrast, when the specific
surface area is greater than 5, the specific surface area is no
longer the limiting factor in the scrap melting rate, and further
increasing the specific surface area has relatively little effect on
the melting rate. The effects of both the specific surface area of
scrap and the scrap preheating temperature on the scrap melting
rate are shown in Figure 6.
