Automatic Secondary Cooling Control for the Continuous Casting Process of Steel

  • Chapter
Proceedings of the Fourth European Conference on Mathematics in Industry

Part of the book series: European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry ((ECMI,volume 6))

Abstract

Two simulation models for finding the optimal secondary cooling strategy in continuous casting process are presented. The first one is a two-dimensional off-line model for optimizing steady state casting operation. The second one is a one-dimensional model which can be used for simulating casting operation in real-time during varying casting conditions.
