Study & Calculation of Loss in Rail Length Occurred in the Bhilai Steel Plant Due to Scaling in the Furnace

Conventionally the production of rail track comprises of forming process in which rail is manufactured through rolling, during the process, semi-finished product i.e. bloom is recharged inside the furnace for several hours by using different types of mixed fuel gases. After getting the certain recrystallization temperature the bloom is passed by several passes and stages, to get an appropriate desired profile of rail section as per requirement. So basically in “Universal Rolling Mill� and “Rail & Structural Mill� of Bhilai Steel Plant there is some common issues related to Rail length during manufacturing process i.e. Shortage of length. This paper majorly focuses on the cause of scale loss during the production process & its effects on rail length. The methodology will describe about how process are carried out in order to collect data. Evaluation & outcome deals with the calculation & comparison of different parameters in both the unit of BSP. Finally, in the conclusion, methods are proposed for reducing the metal loss so as to get required rail length.
