Isithando somlilo esifakwe emanzini sikwabizwa ngokuba sisithando sombane se-arc okanye isithando sombane esixhathisayo.Esinye isiphelo se-electrode sifakwe kwinqanaba lezinto eziphathekayo, lenze i-arc kwi-layer yezinto kunye nokufudumeza izinto ngokuchasana kwayo.Ihlala isetyenziselwa ukunyibilikisa i-alloys, ukunyibilikisa i-nickel matte, i-matte copper, kunye nokuvelisa i-calcium carbide.Isetyenziswa ikakhulu ekunciphiseni ukunyibilika kwentsimbi, iiarhente zokunciphisa ikhabhoni kunye nezinyibilikisi kunye nezinye izinto ezikrwada.Ivelisa ikakhulu ii-ferroalloys ezifana ne-ferrosilicon, i-ferromanganese, i-ferrochrome, i-ferrotungsten kunye ne-silicon-manganese alloy, eziyimathiriyeli ekrwada yamashishini kwishishini lesinyithi kunye nemathiriyeli ekrwada efana ne-calcium carbide.Isici sayo sokusebenza kukusebenzisa i-carbon okanye i-magnesia refractory imathiriyeli njenge-lining yesithando somlilo, kunye nokusebenzisa i-electrode yegraphite yokuzihlakulela.I-electrode ifakwe kwintlawulo yokusebenza kwe-arc ephantsi kwamanzi, isebenzisa amandla kunye nokukhoyo kwe-arc ukunyibilikisa isinyithi ngokusebenzisa amandla aveliswa yintlawulo kunye nokuchasana kwentlawulo, ukondla ngokulandelelana, ukucofa i-iron slag ngokuqhubekayo, kunye nokusebenza ngokuqhubekayo kombane wemizi-mveliso. eziko.Kwangaxeshanye, iifurnaces ze-calcium carbide kunye ne-yellow phosphorus furnaces nazo zingabalelwa kwii-arc eziphantsi kwamanzi ngenxa yeemeko ezifanayo zokusetyenziswa.
