Isithando somlilo se-arc esingaphansi kwamanzi sibizwa nangokuthi isithando somlilo se-arc kagesi noma isithando somlilo sokumelana nogesi.Umkhawulo owodwa we-electrode ushumekwe kungqimba lwezinto ezibonakalayo, wenza i-arc kungqimba lwezinto ezibonakalayo futhi ushise izinto ngokumelana kwayo.Ivamise ukusetshenziselwa ukuncibilikisa ama-alloys, ukuncibilikisa i-nickel matte, i-matte yethusi, nokukhiqiza i-calcium carbide.Isetshenziselwa kakhulu ukunciphisa ama-ores ancibilikayo, ama-ejenti anciphisa i-carbonaceous kanye nezincibilikisi nezinye izinto zokusetshenziswa.Ikhiqiza ikakhulukazi ama-ferroalloys afana ne-ferrosilicon, i-ferromanganese, i-ferrochrome, i-ferrotungsten ne-silicon-manganese alloy, okuyizinto ezibalulekile ezisetshenziswa yizimboni embonini ye-metallurgical kanye nezinto zokusetshenziswa zamakhemikhali ezifana ne-calcium carbide.Isici sayo sokusebenza ukusebenzisa i-carbon noma i-magnesia refractory materials njengolayini lwesithando somlilo, nokusebenzisa ama-electrode egraphite azilimayo.I-electrode ifakwa eshajelweni yokusebenza kwe-arc engaphansi, kusetshenziswa amandla namandla e-arc ukuncibilikisa insimbi ngamandla akhiqizwa ukushajwa nokumelana nokushajwa, ukondla ngokulandelana, ukucofa i-iron slag, kanye nokusebenzisa ugesi wezimboni ngokuqhubekayo. isithando somlilo.Ngasikhathi sinye, izithando zomlilo ze-calcium carbide kanye nezithando ze-phosphorus eziphuzi nazo zingabalelwa kuma-arc angaphansi kwamanzi ngenxa yezimo ezifanayo zokusetshenziswa.
