The transformation model and the model-predictive coolingsection control system not only have decisive advantages when it comes to the production of multiphase steels; the quality of other materials such as highly carbonized steels, tool steels, transformer sheeting and many other materials is also improved.
Especially for older plants with many restrictions and limitations, the new cooling-section automation system allows for flexible manufacture of modern steel grades. Although the implementation of the micro structure target cooling system alone may result already in the required flexibility and quality, additionally by small mechanical modifications a plant may be brought to its peak-performance being ready for the challenges in future.
