Spanish term or phrase: horno cuchara
En el Horno Eléctrico, se realiza la fusión de la chatarra y demás materias primas, necesarias para obtener la composición química deseada. Esta se controla durante el proceso mediante espectrómetros de emisión de moderno diseño y lectura directa. El acero líquido se vuelca en el HORNO CUCHARA, y en este, libre ya de escoria, se realiza el afino y ajuste definitivo de la composición química del acero, tomando tantas muestras como sean necesarias, hasta obtener la composición química "exactamente" deseada.

Nice explanations and drawings on this page:

The furnace is charged with about 86 percent scrap steel, and 14 percent iron. A crane lifts the scrap bucket and empties its load of 85 tonnes into the open furnace.

Power is supplied to the furnace through the electrodes. The electrodes are placed in the furnace and when the power is applied it produces an arc of electricity from the electrode to the scrap steel. The arc is similar to a lightning bolt striking the ground, and produces 35 million watts of electricity. The energy from the arc raises the temperature to 1600°C, melting the scrap. Sometimes substances like carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and fluxes need to be added to the melt to remove small amounts of impurity in the scrap.

After about 80 minutes, the molten steel is tapped into a ladle and transferred to the ***ladle furnace***. In the ladle furnace more refining is done and the steel can be processed to form alloys in the same way as the BOS steel.
