16/07/2024 – Tyasa and Primetals celebrate 10-year milestone
Primetals’ first-ever “EAF Quantum” started up at Tyasa
Mexican steel producer Talleres y Aceros S.A. de C.V. (Tyasa) and Primetals Technologies have recently reached a milestone for the world’s first “EAF Quantum” plant in Ixtaczoquitlan, Mexico. On May 7, 2024, the 100-ton electric arc furnace had been in operation for 10 years, boasting some 77,000 heats and a total production of almost eight million tons.

The EAF Quantum is designed to charge scrap via the innovative shaft into the operating furnace at the optimal time slot during operation. This is resulting in ongoing operation with ideal flat-bath conditions. © Primetals
