conversion cost query from sponge iron to billet.

Without knowing your costs and efficiencies, accounting answers would be less than helpful.

However, 100 mm billets are pretty small, Unless you are ultimately making small diameter wire, the reduction ratios will be such that the material will not be of best internal soundness.

Are the 100 mm billets round or square, sharp or broadly radiused corners?

Is submerged or shrouded tundis?

What is the typical sulfur and phosphorus content of the sponge iron?

What is mold oscilation distance and frequency?

IS straight (stick) caster or raddius?

What is metallurgical distance?

EMS? STeel deoxidation practices?

End use of the steel cats?

Dear sir,

Cost per ton mainly on few factors. 1. Raw material which party is giving you. 2. Power 3. Yield. 4. Losses

Power. You may provide auto melt control which will optmise the power

Yield can be improved by casting sequence heats. Since you are having two furnaces this possible, you may try to take maximum number of sequence heats. Industries are doing now a days 1+4. For achieving lot of dicipline is required in the plant and continuous monitoring. Provide a PLC & SCADA for the total operation. You can improve the operation by taking corrective steps. You may start sequence 1+1 to start with.

thank you for your valuable response. can you please let me know in detail what is auto melt control system and how it can be implmented.

Dear Mr. Sayravuain,

You may contact Dr. Sastri of GGK systems on Phone number 09342533561 and you may give my reference My name is N.S.Unnikrishnan. I am very confident that you will get the benifits if you are serious and able to implement sincerely.

Regards,

Unnikrishnan.
