Title: Design, development and performance of on-line computer control in a 3-zone reheating furnace
Abstract: Design and application of an on-line computer system providing a feed-forward slab heating temperature control in a furnace hot strip mill not equipped with either automatic gage control or zoom control are described. A mathematical model to simulate reheating is reviewed. In addition to product quality improvements, benefits discussed include fuel savings (8%), increased furnace capacity and mill availability and labor savings. 2 refs.
