Abstract:

The paper contains the methodology of the heating routines modification during the production of rails. The modification was aimed at the improving of final product quality combined with the decrease of the energy consumption and keeping the productivity unchanged. The scientific work resulted in the elaborating of new heating routines for walking beam furnaces set at lower temperatures. It was successfully applied in one of the polish steel plants and brought measurable economical benefits.
