The table above shows the format of the cost model that estimates rebar conversion costs from carbon steel billet, on a traditional 14–20 stand semi-continuous rolling mill. Mill output is assumed to be rebar in lengths of 10–24 mm diameter (not bar-in-coil).
This model is available for purchase from SteelOnTheNet. However, it should be understood that any further use of the model is likely to require
- a knowledge of upstream cost structures [steelmaking, casting]
- further adaptation for actual billet costs, for labour and energy costs, scrap prices, for depreciation charges etc
- adjustment for local operational circumstances.
