Are you really making the most of your continuous steel-strip annealing lines?
You probably set furnace temperature and line speed on the basis of past experience, allowing a safety margin for off-anneals.
You probably check annealing quality by inspecting only the two ends of each coil - the usual practice of strip manufacturers in the past.
Have you considered the advantages of a continuous annealing monitoring system?
We ask you these questions because FERROTRON offers non-destructive measuring devices for stainless steel grades that enable you to monitor the results of the annealing operation on-line. At a given furnace temperature, you will be able to obtain the best possible quality at the highest possible strip speed. Ferritic stainless steel strip will be checked by the remanence measuring instrument, whereas the quality of austenitic stainless steel can be improved by the grain size measuring instrument. Manufacturer of steel strip from various countries around the globe have already recognized the advantage of lower cost and higher quality and have successfully installed such units in their continuous annealing lines.
When will you provide your annealing lines with the technology of today?
