In sponge iron melting within an induction furnace - FeO content, carbon control, and boiling phenomena significantly impact the process. Low FeO content in sponge iron is crucial for efficient energy use and safety, as high FeO can lead to vigorous carbon boil when added to a high-carbon bath, which can be dangerous. Effective carbon control is essential for achieving desired steel composition and minimizing unwanted reactions. Boiling, while sometimes beneficial for refining and reducing impurities, can also disrupt the process if uncontrolled..........
