Abstract
Due to the high working temperatures of the lower metal housing of the electric arc furnace (EAF), this work has as objective to analyze the thermal profile of the EAF, suggesting an increase in the refractory of work, aiming at the decrease of the lower metal housing of the EAF. Thus, the influence of the thermal cycle of the process was analyzed through thermographic monitoring, analytical calculations and computational simulations using the Finite Element Method. Therefore, the proposed modifications, after being tested and analyzed denoted efficiency in such a way that it resulted in a decrease of approximately 60ºC in the temperature in the lower metal housing of the EAF.
