OPTIMIZATION OF TEMPERATURE REGIMES OF WALKING-BEAM HEATING FURNACES
M. L. German UDC 536.33 Methods and results of optimization of operating temperature conditions of walking-beam heating furnaces are presented. The influence of the distance between the steel blanks treated in such a furnace on the characteristics of the optimum regimes of their heating has been investigated. A. V.
