Reheat Furnace

After cooling, the slab, bloom, or billet must be reheated and “softened” for the next forming operation (such as rolling, forging, or extrusion) by raising its temperature to a range of 1600°F to 2500°F. This process is performed in a reheat furnace, a steel structure protected internally by refractory materials. There are many different reheat furnace designs, including the most common and comprehensive type, the walking beam furnace, as well as the walking hearth furnace, the rotary hearth furnace, the pusher-type furnace, and the batch-type furnace. Each of these furnace types varies in length, capacity, width, temperature profile, and refractory design, depending upon the configuration and temperature requirements of the product being heat-treated. HarbisonWalker International offers a variety of products for these furnace types, including the VERSAFLOW®, PLASTECH®, GREENGUN®, KAST-O-LITE®, and SHOT-TECH® families.

Refractory life is quite predictable for each of the various designs but may vary quite drastically for the same design due to differences in the operation of the furnace. Thus, some furnace types require ongoing maintenance. Our maintenance products include the GREENGUN®, SHOT-TECH®, and ON-LINE® families.
