Due to the high heating power of the electric arc furnace, precise end point control of the EAF refining process is essential for efficient melt processing. The evolution of the steel bath temperature was measured during the EAF refining phase using a novel fibre optical measurement system based...

The objective of the project was to develop an operator advisory system for through-process monitoring and control of the steel temperature evolution along the electrical steelmaking route in order to improve accuracy in meeting the target casting temperature with minimisation of energy and...

Straightening at higher temperatures is of great industrial interest due to the bottle neck function of the cooling bed. By solving the problems encountered during hot straightening, the production performance can be increased significantly. The curvature change during cooling after...

This project aims to address the surface quality problems associated with descaling efficiency through the development of new integrated routes involving the use of new water-free descaling techniques and optimisation of current water-based descaling processes. The focus of the project was...

The project aims at supplying practical guidelines, sound metallurgical evidences and production routes to develop new hot corrosion/oxidation, creep/ creep-fatigue-resistant austenitic steels, for the extreme service conditions of next generation advanced Ultra Supercritical (A-USC) pulverized...
