Optimization of the mechanical properties of beams produced by a short processing line

In 1994 ProfilARBED converted its beam production line of Differdange (Luxe mbourg) : the integrated route, based on oxygen steelmaking and ingot casti ng, was replaced by an electric are furnace and a continuous casting machin e of beam blanks. It-appeared thus necessary to assess the constraints and opportunities arising from these changes in terms of product quality.
