Objetivo
The production of high quality steel strips requires efficient ways to control temperature uniformity along the slab length. Today, in modern re-heating furnaces the over-heating of the slab-end is typically around 50°C, while the dissymmetry of temperature profile as of about 20°C. These defects produce bad thickness for heads and tails, scale incrustation and difficulties to insert sheets into the rolling mill with high speed. The objective of this research is to develop new technical devices to improve the longitudinal temperature homogeneity of slabs in re-heating furnaces. Simulations, experimental tests and full-scale trials of cooling systems, shadow masks, geometrical transformations of walls and waste-gas exit will be performed in order to obtain an innovative design of a new re-heating furnace.
