Intelligent heat treatment in line applications for hot rolling process

Abstract

To optimize the product cost realization, increase yield and plant efficiency, decrease energy consumption and envirovment, the effect of verticalization and the dynamic control of process are fundamental key factors. In this study will figure out how last technology solutions for hot rolled bar along the production line can give advantage relative for operations and quality aspects too. With this prospective will be analyzed different types of heat treatment applications in dependence of final product dimensions, relative steel grade conditions and how the sensorization combined with vision/digital control can help to improve the process efficiency in direct and intelligent mode.
