Stahlinstitut VDEh https://vdeh.de/stahl-akademie/seminare/programm/seminar/ – 11.10.2024

The teams-meeting  takes place from 8.45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. CEST (Berlin Time)

Aim

During rolling, straightening and thermal processing of long products internal stresses arise impairing the products material properties and causing material distortion due to stress relief mechanisms. The characteristics of those effects are still associated with a high degree of uncertainty. The seminar gives an overview of the research work done and the resultant proposed solutions that can be implemented with limited efforts in terms of residual stress minimising process strategies to increase the economic efficiency and the future perspective to achieve better product quality in hot rolling of long products.

The proteus-rs project

The seminar is organised as a workshop activity within the project “PROTEUS-RS” (Long Product Quality Optimisation through Enhancement and Utilisation of Residual Stress minimising Process Strategies). The project is sponsored by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS; Project No. 899455). The aim of this project is to overcome the uncertainties in dealing with the effects of relief mechanisms through improved process engineering. Hybrid process models (physical and statistical) are linked to a virtual plant model (digital twin) so that the online simulation of material states and properties, e.g. residual stresses responsible for deformations, is possible through the use of soft sensors. The project was started the 1st of July 2020 and ends in October 2024. By this seminar the European steel plants will be informed about the activities and selected practical results in the PROTEUS-RS project.  

Who should participate

• European steel industry
• Supplying industry for cooling bed and straightener
• Supplying industry for straightness measurement
• Supplying industry for residual stress measurement
• Operating staff / engineers from hot rolling mills
• Staff from innovation departments or production optimization
