Abstract

ArcelorMittal Tubarão HSM productivity has increased gradually and consistently over the last four years, based on increasing charging temperature, furnace efficiency, decreasing Roughing mill and Finishing Mill cycle times and tuning models for Mill Pacing Control and Slab Design. This paper will show the path which was followed by TUBARÃO HSM team to achieve more than a 20% productivity increase resulting in a hot coils year production more than 700 kt higher.
