Energy consumption in steel heat treatment
Energy consumption in steel heat treatment
(OP)
Is there any reference available to compare energy consumption in the austenitizing and tempering treatment of steel (Q+T) plates? I am interested in comparing the energy efficiency of my gas fired furnaces to other gas furnaces used for similar purposes.
I have searched the Internet and found that energy consumed in autenitizing of steel is about 0.6 to 3.0 GJ/ton. This is a reference from www.aceee.org web site. This is rather a wide range and I would like to know the energy consumption for a really energy-efficient furnace.
Thank you for your help in advance.
