Abstract
In rolling shop 1 at OAO ChMK, reconstruction of the pass-through furnaces associated with the 780, 300-2, and 240 bar mills, together with the introduction of automated fuel-consumption meters and other resource-conserving measures, has reduced fuel consumption by 12%, with some decrease in output. Information is presented regarding the structural changes associated with the use of thicker billet. Furnaces of the new design are promising in terms of improvements in performance and energy conservation.
