MUMBAI, India, Oct. 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517075295 A) filed by Jfe Steel Corporation, Tokyo, on Aug. 7, for 'method for determining slab length and slab charging position within walking-beam heating 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: "In this method for determining a slab length and a slab charging position within a walking-beam heating furnace: the length of a slab and the charging position of the slab in heating furnace units are determined so as to minimize a first assessment function under a first limiting condition; the charging position of the slab in heating furnace units is also determined so as to minimize a second assessment function under a second limiting condition; and as overhang quantities, used are a leading end overhang quantity, which is the distance between the coordinates of the leading end of the slab within the heating furnace and the coordinates of a second skid as counted from the leading end toward the trailing end, and a trailing end overhang quantity, which is the distance between the coordinates of the trailing end of the slab within the heating furnace and the coordinates of a second skid as counted from the trailing end toward the leading end."
The patent application was internationally filed on Mar. 27, 2024, under International application No.PCT/JP2024/012500.
