Abstract
The interaction of the refractory material of the electric furnace hearth with molten nonferrous components of the metallic mixture is studied. At elevated temperature, the nonferrous components are accumulated by infiltration in the furnace refractory and thus may be a source of contamination. The use of scrap charges containing nonferrous metal impurities constitutes a danger for electric furnaces of small capacity.
