Inline-Process-Model: productivity and quality increase in continuous heat treatment lines for steel strip

Tenova LOI Thermprocess is a global supplier of continuous heat treatment lines for steel strip and the only one that offers a mathematical online process model with the unique features already proved and backed by reference installations for vertical and horizontal heat treatment lines. The present study describes the LOI Inline-Process-Model and its capabilities. The potential for increases in productivity and quality as well as for optimisation of production reproducibility by means of the model is explained for new lines as well as for revamping projects.
