> Abstract : The present project has been carried out to optimise the
> Consteel-EAF system and to demonstrate the benefits of this
> innovative technology. The objectives of the project are:
> - to design and apply optimised operating practices of the process,
> permitting the carrying out of the process with minimum electrical
> energy consumption for different amounts of coal used;
> - to identify and solve environmental problems, if any, connected
> to the possible release of polluting emissions through gases and
> fumes resulting from scrap heating.
>
> The works comprise:
> - development of mathematical models of scrap pre-heating in the
> tunnel and an EAF process to design operating practices of the
> whole operations scrap pre-heating and EAF steelmaking;
> - experimental trials to tune the models;
> - design on the basis of model, testing and validation in long
> period trials of optimised operating conditions, permitting the
> carrying out of the process with different amounts of coal to
> generate chemical energy.
>
> Main results were:
> - definition of new operating practices, for the EAF-Consteel
> process characterised by different ratios of chemical to electrical
> energy used in the process;
> - decrease of electrical consumption for EAF operation through
> proper management of post-combustion in both the tunnel and EAF;
> - maximum recovery of energy from scrap pre-heating;
> - low level of polluting emission from the plant still with the new
> designed practices.

> Abstract : This work has concentrated on acquiring information on the
response
> of the two-phase structure to deformation in the intercritical
> temperature range. Each partner concentrated on a specific set of
> steels. The main steels investigated were: CMn and CMnNb strip
> steels, CMn and CMnNb plate steels, and a dual phase steel. Some
> data were also used from ULC, IF, ELC and LC steels.
>
> Models of flow curves, softening and transformation were derived
> and used by the project partners. This involved different modelling
> techniques being used, including mathematical fitting of curves to
> the data, metallurgical modelling and FE. The assumption that use
> of the law of mixtures was valid for phase contributions to flow
> curves was assumed by some of the partners, but shown possibly not
> to be true, at low factions of austenite, by others.
>
> This project was one of the first to investigate the hot flow
> behaviour in steels at intercritical temperatures. Thus a lot of
> the results lead to more questions and suggestions for future work,
> rather than answers. For universally applicable models, more
> accurate data need to be obtained for a wider range of compositions
> and grains sizes. If accurate data (especially temperature) were
> available from commercial rolling mills, this would be a valuable
> source of information.

> Abstract : The majority of hot-rolled structural sections are straightened
by
> means of a roller-straightening machine (RSM) . This machine
> imposes a series of bends of diminishing size to plastically modify
> the section and leads to a product that is straight within
> predetermined tolerances. Technological advances in data
> acquisition and control logic are only now beginning to be applied
> to the steel industry. The ultimate aim of this project was to
> provide a technique to automatically control penetration settings
> of a production RSM as a result of measuring the straightness of a
> straightened beam. The whole process essentially works as a
> feedback loop. Eventually it is hoped to extend this to a feed
> forward technique, where the condition of the incoming bar is taken
> into account.
