AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for predicting steel billet temperature in a heating furnace are inaccurate and require direct temperature measurement, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially when fuel gas changes occur.

Method used

Determine the overall heat absorption rate using radiant and convective heat transfer amounts from the inner wall and combustion gas to the steel billet, without direct temperature measurement, by employing equations that account for changes in fuel gas composition and emissivity.

Benefits of technology

Enables accurate prediction of steel billet temperature from the start of operation, reducing downtime and increasing production efficiency by allowing for stable heating and hot-rolling processes.

Abstract

This invention provides a method for predicting the temperature of a steel slab, which allows for the determination of the overall heat absorption rate without measuring the temperature of the steel slab inside the heating furnace, and enables the prediction of the temperature of the steel slab inside the heating furnace from the initial stages of operation using the determined overall heat absorption rate. [Solution] A method for predicting the temperature of a steel slab in a heating furnace, wherein the total heat absorption rate is determined using the amount of radiant heat transfer from the inner wall of the heating furnace to the steel slab, the amount of radiant heat transfer from the combustion gas to the steel slab, and the amount of convective heat transfer from the combustion gas to the steel slab, and the temperature of the steel slab in the heating furnace is predicted using the total heat absorption rate.
