Long product pre-heating and heating systems

Induction is a widely used technology for heating steel products, such as bars, billets, wire, and ingots.

It is an efficient method that replaces traditional gas furnaces, thus supporting the rising request for containing greenhouse gas emissions and gas consumption that impact the OPEX.

Its goal is to improve the mechanical properties of long steel products, making them suitable for various industrial applications.

Easy maintenance is another benefit of using induction heating. A “ready to use” approach guarantees straight and controllable heat, which would be impossible to achieve with traditional gas furnaces.

Induction heating has numerous applications in the steel industry. Here are some ways in which induction heating is employed:

• Equipment for steel mills, such as axial equalization of long products or temperature reheating lines to be inserted on rolling mills. Induction heating reduces energy consumption and improves process efficiency. Furthermore, it helps reduce the rolling force required and improves the surface quality of the final product.

• Boosting lines for pre-heating or heating ingot lines that replace traditional gas furnaces. Heating time is drastically reduced, with lower gas consumption and costs.

• Equipment for the heat treating of bars and tubes, such as hardening and tempering, annealing, normalizing, and stretch reducing.
