Rod & Bar Mill Efficiency
In September 2010, for fuel consumption rate reduction, direct charging facilities were introduced, which directly rolls casted hot billets from continuous casting facilities. As a result, skipping reheating furnace process reduced the fuel consumption rate and electric power consumption rate. The direct rolling mill has to roll hot billets efficiently, leaving no cold billets. Test rolling of the reheated billet before the direct rolling and production rate inhibition of continuous casting facilities improved the monthly ratio of direct rolled billets' weight to the weight of casted billets for direct rolling. This paper provides an overview and describes the improved results of the direct rolling facility.
