Classification standard and working principle of heating furnace


The heating furnace includes a continuous heating furnace, a chamber heating furnace, and the like. The heating furnace for metal heat treatment is also called heat treatment furnace. The furnace that heats the ingot before the initial rolling or averages the internal temperature of the ingot is called the soaking furnace. In a broad sense, the heating furnace also includes a soaking furnace and a heat treatment furnace. In the forging and rolling consumption, the billet is heated in the oxidizing atmosphere of the complete flame.

The use of incomplete extinguished restorative flame (I. e., "self-maintenance atmosphere") to directly heat the metal can achieve the purpose of no oxidation or less oxidation. This kind of heating method is called open flame type or open flame type without oxidation heating, and it is successfully applied to rotary bottom type heating furnace and chamber type heating furnace. Continuous heating furnace includes push steel type heating furnace, walking beam furnace, rotary hearth furnace, chamber furnace and other continuous heating furnace, but the habit often refers to push steel furnace.

The continuous heating furnace is mostly used to heat the metal billet before rolling, and a few are used for forging and heat treatment. The main characteristics are: the billet in the furnace according to the beat of rolling continuous movement, furnace gas in the furnace also continuous activity.

Continuous heating furnace by pushing steel machine to complete the task of transporting materials in the furnace. The billet slides on the bottom of the furnace or on a slide rail supported by a water-cooled tube. In the latter case, the billet can be heated on both the upper and lower sides. The furnace bottom water pipe is usually covered with thermal insulation material to reduce heat loss. In order to reduce the "black mark" on the lower part of the billet formed by the water-cooled slide rail, it is supported on the base wall made of refractory materials. This kind of furnace is called "no water-cooled furnace".
