MUMBAI, India, June 19 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617058235 A) filed by Jfe Steel Corporation on May 07, 2026, for Method For Controlling Steel Sheet Production Facility And Steel Sheet Production 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: The present invention provides a technique capable of accurately obtaining, for a steel sheet to be produced, desired mechanical characteristics. A method for controlling steel sheet production facility includes: a mechanical characteristic prediction step (S3) for predicting mechanical characteristic values including the elongation value and the hole expansion rate of a steel sheet, on the basis of a steel sheet heating temperature in a tempering zone (16) measured by a temperature measurement 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, on the basis of the heat treatment condition determined in the heat treatment condition calculation step (S4), the steel sheet heating temperature in at least a rapid heating zone (9) in continuous annealing equipment.
