HEATING METHOD OF A METALLIC PRODUCT
The invention relates to a method for heating a semi-finished steel product.
In the steel production, but more generally in metal production, steel products need to be reheated before undergoing forming process or heat treatment. This is for example the case of billets or bloom before hot rolling which are generally reheated, from room temperature to temperature above 1000 C, in a furnace.
However, such a reheating consumes a great amount of energy leading to emission of greenhouse gas. It is thus desirable to develop heating methods of semi-finished product that reduce the process impact on the environment.
It is a subject of this invention to provide such a heating method.
This is achieved by providing a method according to any one of the claims 1 to 10.
Other characteristics and advantages will become apparent from the following description of the invention.
The present invention relates to a method for heating a semi-finished steel product 2, being a slab, a billet or a bloom, comprising - a pre-heating step, performed in a pre-heating device comprising a chamber 3 containing solid particles 4, a heat exchanger 5, a support 6 able to support said semi-finished steel product, a gas injector 7, and - a heating step, performed in a furnace, wherein said semi-finished steel product is heated to a temperature from 1000 to 1400 C, - a hot rolling step, after the heating step, wherein said semi-finished steel product is hot rolled, wherein, said pre-heating step comprises the steps of:
i. injecting a gas 12 into said first chamber 3 so as to form a first fluidized bed 8, ii. heating said fluidized bed 8 by means of said heat exchanger 5, iii. putting said semi-finished steel product 2, into said fluidized bed 8 such that said semi-finish steel product 2 is supported by said support 6 and such that said fluidized bed 8 is able to transfer heat to said semi-finished steel product
