Abstract
In order to devise a practicable soaking pit schedule for use at The Steel Co. of Canada Ltd.’s Hamilton Works, soaking pit heating temperatures, soaking times, pit capacity, and safe maximum mill drafts were correlated with fluctuations in the current or load of the bloom mill driving motor. Other variables such as total delays in the pit, rolling schedules, mill delays, and track times were also investigated.
