Abstract: Steelmaking-continuous casting (SCC) is the crucial step in steel production, and the process involves multiple production equipment (converters, refiners and continuous casting machine) and ...

Abstract: In this paper we present a constraint satisfaction model for the steelmaking-continuous casting scheduling problem solved by constraint programming methods. The problem is described with ...

The advantage of chemical heating is the rate of increase of temperature when it is compared with the ladle furnace (LF) system and this rate is around 7 o C/min. However, some difficulties take place ...
