Abstract:
<div>Operational constrains of Hot Dip Galvanizing Line – HDGL - management are more and more challenging: competitiveness (quality/yield improvement – productivity increase – OPEX reduction), flexibility (complex product-mix) and environment footprint reduction (lower energy consumption, raw material savings). These challenges can be addressed with the usage of digital tools enhancing the process optimization and automatic control of production lines.For that purpose, physical-based models have been built and industrially implemented in order to predict microstructural evolutions during annealing and related mechanical properties of flat-C steels at the line exit.These models rely on the description of the main metallurgical phenomena, i.e. [..]
