MUMBAI, India, June 19 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617058160 A) filed by Jfe Steel Corporation on May 07, 2026, for Method For Controlling Steel Sheet Manufacturing Facility And Steel Sheet Manufacturing Facility.

Inventors include Osuka Kenichi; Takeda Gentaro; and Kawasaki Yoshiyasu.

The application for the patent was published on June 05, 2026, under issue no. 23/2026.

Abstract: Provided is a technique that makes it possible to accurately obtain desired mechanical characteristics of a steel sheet to be manufactured. This method for controlling a steel sheet manufacturing facility includes: a mechanical characteristic prediction step (S3) for predicting mechanical characteristic values including an elongation value and a hole expansion ratio of a steel sheet on the basis of a steel sheet heating temperature in a tempering zone (16) measured by a temperature measuring device (20); a heat treatment condition calculation step (S4) for correcting the mechanical characteristic values predicted in the mechanical characteristic prediction step (S3) to target mechanical characteristic values of the steel sheet (S), and determining a heat treatment condition on the basis of the corrected mechanical characteristic values; and a heat treatment condition control step (S8) for controlling the steel sheet heating temperature in at least a soaking zone (8) of a continuous annealing facility on the basis of the heat treatment condition determined in the heat treatment condition calculation step (S4).
