Abstract

The objective of this project is to increase the hot charge by increasing the productivity of ArcelorMittal Tubarão's Hot Strip Laminator by the sequencing process of the Hot Strip Mill with the automation of the slabs relocation /process (reduction of time and movements in the hsm's slabyard ) that will evaluate exchange of cold slabs by hot slabs available after schedule process, every x hours automatically (without human interface). The work began with the revision of metallurgical rules for material relocation, definition of the definition criteria (hot / cold), groupings of material without evaluation and change of priorities in the reallocation of slabs. With the process / system is expected to achieve a potential 5% increase in slab hot charge index in slabs reheating furnaces, reduction of fuel consumption of the furnace and increase of productivity of the ArcelorMittal Tubarão Hot Strip Mill.
