In order to match the mechanical property of coil with the soaking time for batching annealing, this study experimentally and mathematically determined the transient temperature profile of the coil. We used the thermocouples to measure the temperature of the coil hot and cold spots during the preheating, heating and soaking periods. The mathematical simulator was developed using VBA software to calculate the temperature profile of the coil. The difference between experimental and simulated data were within 1.3%. The mathematical model can also be used to calculate the temperature uniformity of the new steel grade coil.
