What is refractory consumption per ton in induction furnace?

Refractory consumption per ton in an induction furnace refers to the amount of refractory material used during the melting process, typically measured in kilograms per ton of metal produced. This consumption can vary based on factors such as the type of refractory used, the operational practices, and the specific characteristics of the charge materials. Generally, the refractory consumption ranges from 5 to 20 kg per ton of metal, depending on the furnace design and operational conditions. Minimizing refractory consumption is essential for cost efficiency and operational effectiveness.
