高(gao)温电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)炉炼(lian)(lian)钢(gang)(gang)(gang)有利于提高(gao)钢(gang)(gang)(gang)产量、节能减(jian)排(pai)，可降低氧气消耗，减(jian)少冶炼(lian)(lian)时间，是(shi)技(ji)术发展方向。高(gao)温电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)炉炼(lian)(lian)钢(gang)(gang)(gang)已进入快速(su)发展期，在(zai)业(ye)界(jie)已达成(cheng)共识。近两(liang)年，钢(gang)(gang)(gang)铁行业(ye)供给侧(ce)结构性改(gai)革全面(mian)推(tui)进，取缔(di)“地条(tiao)钢(gang)(gang)(gang)”产能1.4亿吨，中(zhong)频炉使用的(de)(de)(de)(de)废钢(gang)(gang)(gang)绝大多数流(liu)向电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)炉和(he)转炉，废钢(gang)(gang)(gang)资源的(de)(de)(de)(de)条(tiao)件变化和(he)电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)力供给充足的(de)(de)(de)(de)状况为电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)炉钢(gang)(gang)(gang)的(de)(de)(de)(de)快速(su)发展提供了坚实的(de)(de)(de)(de)基础(chu)。另外(wai)，钢(gang)(gang)(gang)铁行业(ye)政(zheng)策鼓励产能过剩地区以电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)炉钢(gang)(gang)(gang)的(de)(de)(de)(de)形式向外(wai)转移，再加上(shang)环保税和(he)碳税的(de)(de)(de)(de)开(kai)征，将(jiang)真正使电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)炉炼(lian)(lian)钢(gang)(gang)(gang)的(de)(de)(de)(de)工艺(yi)优(you)势转化为经济优(you)势和(he)成(cheng)本优(you)势，进一步提升电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)炉炼(lian)(lian)钢(gang)(gang)(gang)的(de)(de)(de)(de)竞(jing)争力，从(cong)而促进电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)炉炼(lian)(lian)钢(gang)(gang)(gang)合理(li)发展。

2017年，钢(gang)(gang)协(xie)(xie)会(hui)(hui)员单位(wei)(wei)统计电(dian)(dian)(dian)炉(lu)生产指标(biao)的(de)有20个单位(wei)(wei)，统计电(dian)(dian)(dian)炉(lu)工序能(neng)耗(hao)的(de)有22个单位(wei)(wei)。2017年，我国电(dian)(dian)(dian)炉(lu)钢(gang)(gang)产量为(wei)3261.0168万吨，比(bi)(bi)(bi)2016年增(zeng)加(jia)(jia)11.74%，电(dian)(dian)(dian)炉(lu)钢(gang)(gang)比(bi)(bi)(bi)例为(wei)4.935%，呈(cheng)下降趋(qu)势。因社(she)会(hui)(hui)废(fei)钢(gang)(gang)增(zeng)加(jia)(jia)、价格(ge)低，电(dian)(dian)(dian)炉(lu)用(yong)废(fei)钢(gang)(gang)量增(zeng)加(jia)(jia)，钢(gang)(gang)协(xie)(xie)会(hui)(hui)员单位(wei)(wei)电(dian)(dian)(dian)炉(lu)使用(yong)废(fei)钢(gang)(gang)1421.30万吨，比(bi)(bi)(bi)2016年增(zeng)加(jia)(jia)47.44%，使电(dian)(dian)(dian)炉(lu)冶炼电(dian)(dian)(dian)耗(hao)（360.65kWh，比(bi)(bi)(bi)2016年增(zeng)加(jia)(jia)55.16kWh）和冶炼时间（1.04小时，比(bi)(bi)(bi)2016年增(zeng)加(jia)(jia)0.01小时）增(zeng)加(jia)(jia)。
