Disminución del Tamaño de Grano en Producto Terminado de Varilla Corrugada NOVACERO a Través del Monitoreo de Temperaturas de Laminación

Abstract

The present project consist of the Decrease of the Grain Size in the Finished Product of the Corrugated Novacero Rod through the Lamination Temperature Monitoring. This includes carrying out mechanical, chemical and micrographic essays under the NTE INEN and ASTM E 112 norms. The fundamental objective of the project is achieving the decrease of the grain size and hence the increment of the rod properties. The study is primary importance for the enterprise because it is an opportunity to improve the product quality supplied to the market. To carry out the temperature monitoring 3 pyrometers of optical emission were bought through which it was possible to examine the process temperature. The actual product situation determination was performed, I, e. lamination temperature and a sampling was carried out to corroborate the increase of the properties thanks to the grain size decrease. The parameter modification within the process, the equipment mounting, creation, methods and procedures were carried out at the enterprise Novacero S.A. installations, Lasso plant, located on the Panamericana Norte Km 16. This enterprise attended the actual project executers to obtain a quality system for its quality control processes as to the traction essays of the corrugated rod production for construction.
