| Title | Optimal control of ladle stirring |
| Host institution | Weierstrass Institute of Applied Analysis and Stochastics, Berlin, Germany |
| Brief description | The project objective is to improve a ladle stirring monitoring and control while maintaining or improving the cleanliness of the liquid steel. The objective will be reached by developing a model which is using imaging and vibration measurement systems to monitor the actual stirring. Better control of stirring gives a possibility to reduce formation of non-metallic inclusions and to optimize the separation of inclusions during stirring. |
