An integrated steel plant has all the functions for primary steel production:
• Iron making (conversion of ore to liquid iron),
• Steel making (conversion of pig iron to steel),
• Bloom casting (production of large blocks of steel),
• Roughing rolling/billet rolling (reducing size of blocks)
• Product rolling (finished shapes).
The project is about repair technology of HFL roller widely used in steel melting shop where bloom casting
takes place. Liquid steel from LD converter is shifted to continuous casting achine for producing blooms.
Roller tables convey these blooms to Bloom Storage Yard (BSY). The roller tables are fitted with rollers. And
these are known as Handling and Finishing Line Rollers (HFL). These rollers are exposed to very high
temperatures. Hence failures of these rollers are frequent..............
