Steel Billet Electric Heating Furnace

Steel Billet Electric Heating Furnace

Continuous Casting Steel Billet Heating Electric Furnace, also known as CCM billet induction reheating furnace, is a modular electric induction heating system specially designed for online reheating of continuous casting steel billets after caster. It adopts IGBT medium frequency induction heating principle to realize synchronous inside-and-outside penetrating heating of square billets, round billets and rectangular billets, perfectly matching continuous rolling, forging, piercing and hot extrusion production lines. Different from traditional gas-fired walking-beam furnaces, this electric billet heater directly heats the billet body by electromagnetic induction. It supports both hot billet compensation heating straight from continuous caster and cold billet full reheating. With multi-section independent power zones and closed-loop infrared temperature monitoring, it eliminates the defect of surface overheating while the core is underheated, delivers stable target forging/rolling temperature and uniform metallurgical structure.

Core Features

 

 

Steel Plate Induction Tempering Equipment

✅ Multi-zone segmented through heating

Independent power adjustment for preheating, heating and soaking zones. Uniform core-surface temperature, small temperature difference, avoids overburning and internal crack of alloy steel billets.

✅ Low oxidation & high material yield

hort heating holding time greatly reduces oxide scale and decarburization layer. Metal loss is far lower than gas reheating furnace, reduces descaling workload and improves finished steel yield.

✅ High energy efficiency & eco-friendly electric heating

Thermal efficiency ≥85%. No open flame, no flue gas, no fuel consumption. Flexible start-stop, no long warm-up period; suitable for intermittent or stable continuous mill operation.

✅ Online automatic linkage with CCM & rolling line

Can be docked behind continuous casting machine for hot charging compensation heating. Line speed, power and temperature adjust automatically following rolling rhythm; unattended continuous running with traceable process logs.

✅ Modular compact layout & flexible customization

Single / double row feeding design. Coil, power grade and channel size tailor-made according to billet section, length, hourly capacity and workshop space. Easy installation and expansion for old production line renovation.

✅ Wide material compatibility

Works for carbon steel, alloy structural steel, bearing steel, spring steel, high-strength low-alloy steel, stainless steel continuous casting billets.

 

Typical Applications
  1. Continuous hot rolling line for rebar, wire rod, section steel
  2. Seamless steel tube piercing & hot extrusion production
  3. Forging preheating for engineering machinery, petroleum and mining parts
  4. Hot charging process optimization for continuous casting plants
  5. Steel billet temperature compensation for unstable CCM outlet temperature
