MUMBAI, India, Oct. 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517075340 A) filed by Jfe Steel Corporation, Tokyo, on Aug. 7, for 'method for determining slab length and charging position of slab in walking beam furnace.'
Inventor(s) include Ogasahara Tomoyoshi; Shingaki Yukihiro; Akazawa Takahiro; Kubomura Ryota; Harada Yushi; Takata Masaaki; and Fukunaga Takayuki.
The application for the patent was published on Oct. 10, under issue no. 41/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The method for determining slab length and charging position of the slab in a walking beam furnace determines the slab length and the charging position of the slab, so as to minimize an evaluation function that uses a constraint expression that specifies the probability of scab occurrence under a constraint condition, using a constraint expression that specifies the overhang amount, a constraint expression that specifies the scab occurrence probability corresponding to the overhang amount, and a constraint expression that specifies the upper and lower limit values of the slab length. The leading-edge overhang amount, which is the distance between the slab leading edge coordinate in the furnace and the second skid coordinate counting from the leading edge toward the tail edge, and the tail edge overhang amount, which is the distance between the slab tail edge coordinate in the furnace and the second skid coordinate counting from the tail edge toward the leading edge, are used as the overhang amounts."
The patent application was internationally filed on Mar. 27, 2024, under International application No.PCT/JP2024/012502.
