Description
Summary:The decade has seen many Japanese advances in instrumentation for environmental pollution monitoring and energy saving controls (combustion, 0 sub 2 in waste gases, sensors for flaw detection in continuous casting and annealing), all directed to building up computerised on-line quality/production control systems. Other measurement developments include refractory temperature diagnosis for prolonging furnace life, solidus thickness and roll alignment. A compresive table lists the achievements in measurement and control of all aspects of iron and steel making over the past decade. Specific progress is discussed under the following headings. Iron making and raw materials: materials, sintering, coking, blast furnace. Steel making: converter, exhaust gas, direct analysis, refactory life, slag. Continuous casting. Thin rolling: changes in instrumental needs, dimensions, temperature and flaw measurement. Hot rolling: computer control system. Thick plate rolling: total control system. Rod and section roling. Steel pipe. The text is supported by numerous block diagrams and tables.--G.A.S.
