Fine production in steelmaking plants

Abstract

As the key component during steelmaking process, the production in steelmaking plants involves four stages in process: Hot metal pretreatment, steelmaking, secondary metallurgy and continuous casting. This paper is to describe the fine production in steelmaking plants, which is elaborated from fine control of productive technology, fine configuration and reliable operation of process facilities, and fine control of production process. Meanwhile, recent research progress concerning fine production in steelmaking plants will be reviewed. The technology of fine production in steelmaking plants will be introduced combined with research cases on integration of process models and key techniques. Moreover, fine production in steelmaking plants is of great importance to the high-quality, high-efficiency, low-cost, and energy-saving production in steel manufacturing process.
