In this paper we present a model and a solution approach for integration of steel continuous casters and hot strip mills to provide more responsive steel production at lower unit cost. We describe the production environment and survey existing methods for planning continuous casters and hot strip mills. Since these processes lie at the solid/liquid interface we use “virtual” slabs, correspondin...

Phenomena associated with the turbulent flow of molten steel in a continuous casting mold are responsible for many defects in the final product, including surface slivers, frozen meniscus hooks, captured inclusions that enter the mold from upstream, and mold slag entrapment. Animations of some of these transient flow phenomena are presented from Large-Eddy Simulations of a typical slab caster w...

The solidifying steel follows highly nonlinear thermo-mechanical behavior depending on the loading history, temperature, and metallurgical phase fraction calculations (liquid, ferrite, austenite). Numerical modeling with a computationally challenging multiphysics approach is used high-performance computing to generate sufficient training testing data for subsequent deep learning. We have demons...

Abstract. The continuous casting process is one of the initial operations in entire metal forming chain used metallurgical industry. phenomena solidification and unification properties that occur during slab are highly dependent on steel composition purity metal. high cleanliness determinant good quality final products, without internal cracks or inhomogeneities mechanical, thermal electrical p...

This paper presents a novel chassis structure for advanced mobility platforms, using caster wheels with disturbance observers, and independent driving motors. The system consists of two independent driving wheels and two caster wheels. The proposed configuration enables the vehicle to have: a low mechanical stiffness against the direct yaw moment input because caster wheels are free to rotate; ...
