Level 2 optimization: new approaches in heat treatment
Heat treatment processes are becoming increasingly complex: the variety of products and formulas is constantly growing. Yet linear operation, which has been the norm up to the present, reaches its limits when a line has several furnaces and quenching tanks. In such cases, level 2 optimization has the potential to significantly increase the efficiency of the entire line. This article explores where the journey must lead in the coming years to ensure that forges can continue to compete on an international scale.
