  • Patent number: 10482406
    Abstract: In an energy-saving-operation recommending system, a total energy consumption of plural facilities during passage of one material to be rolled through a rolling line is calculated, and the total energy consumption is divided by a width and a length of the material to be rolled before rolling to calculate an energy consumption reference value that defines energy consumption per unit width and unit length of the material to be rolled. The energy consumption reference value is stored in association with a steel grade and a target post-rolling plate thickness of the material to be rolled. An energy consumption reference value corresponding to a steel grade and a target post-rolling plate thickness of a material to be next rolled on the rolling line is obtained. The energy consumption reference value is multiplied by a width and a length of the material to be next rolled to calculate predicted energy consumption.

  • Patent number: 7821645
    Abstract: A microstructural feature and material property monitoring device for a metallic material that can easily adjust relative position between an irradiation position of laser beams applied to the metallic material to propagate pulsed ultrasonic waves in the metallic material and detection position of a laser interferometer, and therefore can accurately monitor the microstructural feature and material property of the metallic material. The device relatively moves the irradiation position of the laser beams generated by a laser oscillator and the detection position of the laser interferometer. The irradiation position of the laser beams generated from a laser oscillator and the detection position of the laser interferometer are controlled to be aligned with a relative position according to the microstructural feature and material property of the metallic material based on the time from the transmission of the pulsed ultrasonic waves to the detection by the laser interferometer.

  • Publication number: 20100018270
    Abstract: This invention matches the material quality of a product to target data, even when a materials quality model is insufficient in prediction accuracy. Heating a metallic material, rolling, forging, or leveling the metallic material, and cooling the metallic material are each conducted at least once. Prior to manufacture of a metallic product of a desired size and shape, qualitative data of the metallic material are measured at a position by a materials quality sensor in a manufacturing line, and modifications based on measured data are made to heating, processing, or cooling conditions in at least one of the steps, upstream of the materials measured data sensor so that the quality of the metallic material at the measuring position agrees with target data.
