摘要： A heating furnace system is provided for receiving finite lengths of workpieces from one or more continuous casters and from a supply of heated workpieces at a temperature suitable for rolling in a hot rolling mill (6). The system includes, in one aspect, a holding furnace (4) receiving a workpiece during continuous casting until it is severed by a cutoff device (3) to prevent unwanted cooling. The workpiece is fed from a holding furnace (4) to a heating furnace (5) wherein it is deposited onto one of a series of vertically spaced supports in a heated section where it remains static throughout the heating process. After heating the workpiece is removed from the stationary supports and returned to rollers of the hearth for discharge from the furnace to a rolling mill (6).
