Abstract: The technical characteristics of electric arc furnace steelmaking with direct reduced iron as a substitute for scrap steel are analyzed， and the main factors affecting the smelting power consumption are expounded . The results indicate that a large amount of steel left in melting pool （≥ 40%） and intensive mixing such as enhanced oxygen supply， bottom blowing， and electromagnetic stirring are important ways to promote melting and shorten the tap-to-tap cycle （which can be shortened by 8%-10%）. The proportion of direct reducing iron exceeds 30%， continuous feeding should be used. The feeding speed in the early and middle stages of smelting is generally equal to the melting speed of 28-33 kg/min （power supply power is 1 MW）. It is necessary to match lime and dolomite to prevent the erosion of slag line， and the whole smelting process should be sprayed with carbon foam slag to ensure the power supply efficiency. To reduce power consumption of smelting， direct reduction iron with high C content， high metallization rate， low SiO₂ content， low P content， low S content， and higher temperature should be used as much as possible within a certain suitable range （that is， w［C］ 1%-4.5%， metallization rate ≥ 90%， w［SiO₂］ ≤ 6%， w［P］ ≤ 0.1%， w［S］ ≤ 0.04%）. The compact short process combining direct reduction iron vertical furnace and electric arc furnace is an important direction for low-carbon， energy-saving， and clean production.
