Reheating Mill Furnaces
Reheating furnaces heat steel billets, blooms and slabs from a continuous casting operation.
Reheating Mill FurnacesReheating furnaces heat steel billets, blooms and slabs from a continuous casting operation, to a rolling temperature between 900°C and 1500°C. In steelmaking, this application is considered to be one of the most stable for refractories. We work to improve furnace lives and reduce downtime during installation and repair. |
| Reheating furnaces appear in a variety of designs including the two most widespread which are walking beam furnaces and pusher furnaces. Steel shapes and tonnage throughput play a key role in the choice of furnace design. The choice of lining concept is dictated by a variety of conditions in different parts of the furnace. The lining properties include corrosion resistance, anti-spalling, abrasion resistance and thermal shock resistance. Refractories used include magnesia bricks, high alumina bricks and fireclay bricks, as well as different types and qualities of monolithic materials. |
