The least cost charge programme Charge-Pro is used to calculate the least costly combination of charge materials and alloys. Two operations, preparing of optimal metal charge composition and alloying, have a huge influence on economy of steel production and on the achievement of low cost production. That’s the reason why the two operations were included in the early steps of automation in steel practice. Modern melting aggregates are able to supply high power per ton of steel and, therefore, up to 70 charges of low alloyed steels per day could be produced in the modern melting furnaces which might be explained by better use of secondary equipment.
