Abstract Scope |
We present an advanced integrated model developed for the hot strip mill through a blend of physics-based and data-driven sub-models. This model spans the entire production line, from the reheating furnace to the roughing and finishing mills and includes run-out-table and coil cooling stages. It effectively simulates grain size evolution, phase transformation and precipitation, and prediction of mechanical properties. A standout feature is its dynamic heat transfer model coupled with phase transformation along the strip, which accounts for all parameters across thickness and length, with variable speed over time. This integration enables the model to predict final mechanical properties along the entire coil length rapidly, delivering results in real time post-coiling. Deployed on a Level 2 system, it enhances operational efficiency and product quality. By coupling real-time data with physical modelling, it accelerates new alloy design and process optimization, providing steel manufacturers a robust tool to meet sustainable steel design. |
