| description | The effect of latent heat via phase transformation on the thermal behavior of a billet was investigated during the heating process. The latent heat of the billet strongly affected the temperature distribution of the billet during heating, although the heating rate of the billet was not high during the process. The temperature profile of the center region of the steel billet with latent heat had a strong flat shape compared with the other regions, as the heat supply to the center region was limited during the heating process owing to the finite thermal conductivity and mass effect of the billet. The latent heat by phase transformation typically occurred in the middle stage of heating, and the latent heat increased the temperature deviation of the billet during heating owing to the delay in the temperature rise at the center region of the billet. During the phase transformation of carbon steels during heating, the gas temperature needs to be low to reduce the temperature deviation or thermal stress of the billet. Industrial hot rolling mills are required to consider the latent heat by phase transformation of the billet to properly design the heating pattern for the billet. The heating pattern in the reheating furnace should be varied with the materials to obtain a high heating quality for the billet. |
