Mathematical Modelling Blast Furnace Hearth Thickness Monitoring
We offer an essential primary tool to reduce furnace breakouts and increase furnace campaigns.
Mathematical Modelling Blast Furnace Heat and Mass Balance
It has become increasingly important for each plant to operate in the most efficient conditions. We provide a heat and mass balance model which allows accurate assessment of blast furnace operation, identifying areas of imbalance and allowing corrective action to be taken.
Mathematical Modelling for Blast Furnace Charging
We provide effective charging is crucial for achieving optimum operation of blast furnaces. To assist the development of good charging practice, RD&T has developed a model to show charge build up in blast furnaces.
Mathematical Modelling for Blast Furnace Process Options
A model that provides a rapid and simple method for investigating various strategic options in a Steelworks, plus a flow chart showing the steady state material, fuel and electricity flows, together with important process variables and purchased material costs.
Optimised Cooling Using Finite Element Modelling
In the last few years fully calibrated cooling and distortion models have been developed using the ABAQUS commercial software package, together with in-house subroutines to account for steel chemistries and transformation.
Programmable Interface for Finite Element Modelling of Forming Operations
ABAQUS commercial FE software has been combined together with an in-house Visual Basic programming interface to provide an easy to operate user environment for process forming operations.
Roller Straightening Solutions using Finite Element Modelling
Corus has over many years developed expertise in modelling of Roller Straightening Machines (RSM). Finite Element models using the commercial package ABAQUS have been developed to investigate and optimise Roller straightening of a range of products covering rail, structural sections, special sections, billet and plate.
