Abstract
ABSTRACT Generally, in steel processing systems, steels are heated via induction or combustion furnaces. Natural gas fired furnaces have installation costs advantage and induction furnaces have the advantages of less scale formation on the surface of the workpiece as well as environmental reasons. The operation cost of both systems is a vital argument to be solved. In this paper, a natural gas fired and an induction-heating furnaces of a forging process were studied. Thermodynamic analysis was performed for the furnaces which heats the work piece up to 1300 C. The energy performances of both systems were analyzed and compared. For the heating process a hybrid furnace was suggested.
