HTP-Control: Development of in-process analysis and control systems to increasing the sustainability of UK steel manufacturing

塔塔钢铁英国公司、创新小型仪器、工艺创新中心和Mullard空间科学实验室、伦敦大学学院将合作开展一项合作研发计划，旨在解决与英国高等级钢铁制造相关的返工和废料问题。利用联盟合作伙伴的集体专业知识，该项目将开发一种创新的非破坏性激光系统，用于在> - 1000℃的温度下测量连续铸钢，以检测和识别工艺缺陷。预计该技术将提高产量，简化生产过程，提高产品质量和一致性。将开发一个原型装置，用于在塔塔钢铁公司运营的实际铸造厂进行安装和试验，以优化技术并量化实际的商业、环境和社会效益。将确定向其他工业部门转让技术的机会。

Tata Steel UK, Innovative Small Instruments, the Centre for Process Innovation and the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, University College London will partner in a collaborative R&D programme designed to address the issues of rework and waste materials associated with high grade steel manufacture in the UK. Using the collective expertise of the consortium partners, the project will develop an innovative non-destructive laser based system to measure continuous as cast steel at temperatures >1000deg C for the detection & indentification of process defects. It is predicted that this technology will increase yield, streamline production processes & increase product quality & consistency. A prototype unit will be developed for installation & trials on an actual casting plant, operated by TATA Steel, to optimise the technology & quantify the actual commercial, environmental & social benefits. Opportunities for technology transfer to other industry sectors will be identified.
