Morning
There was a fire on one of the small arc furnaces over night. We spent the entire morning trying to find out what was wrong. First, we went out and looked at the top of the furnace where the stinger comes into the lid. Tony pulled up the plans and got prints out at drafting. We drove out and got them. They showed that the stinger most likely arced to the lid. Conductive hydrolic lines gave the current a path to ground and caught fire.
Afternoon
We attended a meeting to report on the cause of the fire. After that we went across the street to the electron beam furnaces. I got to take a look at S8, the unit I'll be working on. It was fun to see the different type of technology.
