Induction Furnace (IF)/Ladle Furnace (LF) {optional} /Continuous Casting Machine (CCM)

Induction Furnaces are only for melting of scrap. Refining is not possible. Steel after melting is directly cast on CCM. Widely used for TMT/Structure rolling. Some Ifs with higher capacities do use LF. Phosphorous is now also possible by making some special additives and using LF in line.

IF along with AOD is ideal for Stainless Steel making because of its economics.

For alloy steel making recent trend is to route the IF heat through LD converter, LF, VD and CCM with all the latest facilities.
