Obiettivo This research project is aimed at improving the process control of continuous annealing furnaces to ensure improved surface quality and decreased gas consumption. It will focus on the control of gas flow in the furnace both close to the steel strip, and in each section of the furnace (injection and purge points, design of gas locks between sections, etc.). This project combines the different approaches of the partners: - design of a novel sensor (for industrial measurements); - improvements of air lock design and sensor validation through pilot tests; - furnace modelling (fluid flow and heat transfer and dynamic transfer functions). These improvements may allow specific local surface treatments to be carried out in some furnace sections.
