Abstract

The need for high quality product has necessitated the scientists to put in more effort to produce metal of high quality at lower price. This job considered the possibility of optimizing the product and brings out the product at cheaper price. Nigeria as a developing country needs metal for different purpose like construction of roads, houses, bridges, and other infrastructure. Defined parameters of optimum work of EAF-50 comparing with the basic variant expenditure by limit has reduced by 33% (from 41,1 to 28,2 Ruble\ton) Relative usage of electric energy by 51% (from 0,5463 to 0,2669 mw Hour/ton) Hour productivity rose by 74% (from 71,17 to 123,61 ton/hour).
