This paper presents the design and implementation of a fuzzy logic controller for regulating inter-stand tension in a tandem mill. The developed fuzzy controller utilizes input variables such as tension error, rolling force, exit speed, and speed correction, and applies a rule base derived from operator experience to adjust the gap position and speed references. The controller operates in...

Dr Takashi Kuroki (JFE Steel Corporation)11/05/2026, 17:45EMECR 7. Energy savings and energy efficiency optimizationPoster Presentation
A novel water heating system for steel sheet cleaning was developed, which recovers heat from high-temperature wastewater and utilizes a heat pump to heat the supply water. By integrating heat exchangers and heat pump heating, the system significantly reduces energy consumption and CO₂ emissions compared to conventional steam heating. The adoption of indirect heat exchange and multi-pass flow...

Matthias Höck (RHI Magnesita)11/05/2026, 17:50EEC 1.E Automation and digitalization in electric steelmakingPoster Presentation
Increasing steel weight per heat is a recurrent theme at many steelmakers to increase the productivity of the plant. This is generally limited by the volume of the various aggregates, EAF, Transfer ladle, AOD and casting ladle. The steel shells are fixed and cannot be modified easily. There is only the potential to reduce the size and shapes of the used refractory material. To avoid a negative...

The environment surrounding the iron and steel industry has greatly changed. The Paris Agreement, a new climate change regime, has been in effect since ‘21, and the Parties announced the National Determined Contribution (NDC) in accordance with the Paris Agreement. After the establishment of the NDC in 2015, Korea revised its target to “reduce the greenhouse gas emissions by 40% compared to...

Establishing mathematical models to predict the production status and process parameters of electric arc furnaces (EAFs) for guiding actual production holds significant importance. Based on the principles of mass and energy balance, this study developed a steelmaking model for ECS EAF. Through calculations with this model, parameters such as post-combustion energy utilization efficiency,...

In flat steel production, hot-rolled steel surfaces are subjected to acid pickling to remove surface oxide layers. During pickling, the iron concentration in the acid increases over time, and the spent acid is treated and recycled through an acid regeneration process. As a by-product of this process, iron oxide particles composed primarily of hematite and magnetite with an average particle...

Bernhard Mitas (Montanuniversität Leoben)11/05/2026, 17:55EEC 1.A Innovations in electric arc furnace (EAF) technologyPoster Presentation
Describing scrap dissolution has become a topic of renewed interest due to the increasing significance of the electric arc furnace in global raw steel production, as well as the growing complexity introduced by charging mixtures of scrap, DRI, HBI, and hot metal. We present a physically based, computationally efficient dissolution model built on a front-fixing moving-boundary formulation. The...

Based on the Ion–Molecule Coexistence Theory (IMCT) and the steel–slag equilibrium theory, this study establishes a thermodynamic equilibrium calculation model for the high-cleanliness production of crankshaft steel. Systematic calculations were performed to determine the rational distribution range of SiO2 in the slag, as well as the recommended CaO/Al2O3 ratio. The variations in inclusion...

Mary Osorio Baena (EurA AG)11/05/2026, 17:55EMECR 9. Life Cycle AssessmentPoster Presentation
High-performance forged components (e.g., steam-turbine shafts) demand tight control of microstructure and creep behaviour. In industrial development, however, parameter selection and qualification frequently involve iterative loops (trial batches, rework and occasional scrap), which translate into avoidable material and energy losses. AID4GREENEST project tackles this challenge by combining...
