Automation in the Steel Industry: Current Practice and Future Developments

by W.H. Kwon, S. Won

Overview

The IFAC International Workshop on Automation in the Steel Industry: Current Practice and Future Development (ASI'97) was held in Kyongju, Korea from 16th to 18th July 1997, with the Steel Processing Automation Research Center (SPARC) serving as the official host. The objective of the workshop was to bring together engineers and scientists with expertise in applying modern control theories and techniques to industrial problems, particularly those involved in the steel industry.

These proceedings present papers covering various processes in the steel industry, such as cold rolling, hot stripping, continuous casting, sintering, tube making and welding. New technologies with a strong potential for application to the steel industry, such as fuzzy control, AI techniques, neural networks, robust control, predictive control, and instrumentation and measurement are also covered.

Editorial Reviews

Presents 43 papers from the July 1997 workshop covering various processes in the steel industry, such as cold rolling, hot stripping, continuous casting, sintering, tube making, and welding. New technologies with potential for application to the steel industry, such as fuzzy control, AI techniques, neural networks, robust control, predictive control, and instrumentation and measurements, are also covered. Some example topics are control of silicon ratio in ferrosilicon production, a new anti-swing control of overhead cranes, optimal control system for hot strip finishing mill, and a mathematical model of the heat loss of steel in a metallurigal ladle.
