This study considers the local players in the European steel industry, whose the amounts of crude production are more or less 5 million tons per annum. They do not belong to the Pan-EU mega-group of steel mills with more than 15 million tons of crude production yearly. However, these mid-sized steel mills in European countries have been originated from the strong foundation of steel, scientifically and technically, as well as the centennial history. They concentrate on the niche market adjacent to the local area, which takes advantage of the geographical location. The companies considered here are VoestAlpine in Austria, Salzgitter in Germany, Rautaruukki in finland, and SSAB in Sweden. Their corporate strategies are compared on the basis of product mix and sales structure. And, the deep analysis for each company is performed, such as business strategies with the sales volumes, market strategies. competitiveness improvement planning. and R&D policies with the technology management. These analysis results can be benchmarked as the cases of best practices for domestic steel mills, especially mid & small sized companies, that develop business and market strategies for the sustainable growth and profitability.

Roughing of tool steel in its hardened state represents a real challenge in the die and meld industry and process improvement depends on research of tool material, coating technique, and lubrication. However, roughing of hardened steels generates extreme heat and without coolant flooding, tool material cannot withstand the high temperature without choosing the right tools with proper coating. This research conducted milling tests using coated ball end mills to study effects of cutting conditions and geometric parameters of ball end mills on the machinability of hardened tool steel. KP4 steel and STD 11 heat treated steels were used in the dry cutting as the workpiece and TiAIN coated ball end mills with side relief angle of 12$^{\circ}$ was utilized in the cutting tests. Cutting forces, tool wear, and surface roughness were measured in the cutting tests. Results from the experiments showed that 85 m/min of cutting speed and 0.32 mm/rev of feed rate were optimum conditions for better surface finish during rough cutting and 0.26mm/rev with the same cutting speed are optimum conditions in the finish cutting.

This paper proposes a cooling stop temperature control(CST) and a phase transformation control(PTR) which aim at obtaining the uniform temperature and quality along the longitudinal direction of the high strength steel on the run-out table(ROT) process. The problems of the temperature control are analyzed for the conventional steel and the new control concepts are derived from a time-temperature transformation(TTT) diagram. The proposed control technologies are verified from the simulation results under the temperature prediction model by the heat transfer governing equation, and the temperature estimation simulator. It is shown through the field test of the hot strip mills that the phase transformation ratio of the high strength steel is considerably improved by the proposed temperature controls.

일관제철소의 모든 공정은 서로 연결됨으로써 단일공정에서의 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있는 최적화도 중요하지만 무엇보다도 전체 공정의 연결 관점에서의 최적화가 중요하다. 일관제철소에서의 경영과학 모형 적용에 관한 조사연구는 대부분 특정 공정만을 대상으로 문제해결을 위한 모형에 집중하고 있거나 혹은 일관제철소에서 발생되는 문제에 대해 어떤 기법이 적용되고 있는지에 대한 조사에 집중되고 있다. 그러나 이보다는 일관제철소에서 해결되어야만 하는 문제를 우선 정의하고, 이를 모형화 할 수 있는 목적과제약조건 등에 대해 파악하며, 현실적으로 적용 가능한 해를 구할 수 있는 방법론이무엇인지에 대한 연구가 어떻게 이루어져 왔는지에 대해 조사가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 일관제철소 공정을 대상으로 생산운영관리관점에서의 효율성 향상을 위해 필요한 연구가 무엇인지를 기술한 후, 이를 해결하기 위해 어떤 연구들이 진행되어 왔는지에 대해 조사하였다. 이를 위해 6가지 영역으로 분류하여 기존 연구에 대해 조사하였으며, 전체최적화 관점에서 향후의 연구방안에 대해 제시하였다. 이를 바탕으로 일관제철소에서의 공정 효율성 제고를 위한 연구주제가도출될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The pressing of car body parts is one of the most important sheet metal drawing processes. The corrosion protection oil applied by the steel mills plays a part in every sheet metal forming operation and also makes up the largest proportion of lubricants used. The idea to combine the corrosion protection properties of a corrosion preventive oil with the lubricity of a drawing oil lead to the development of the Anticorit prelubes. Applied at the finishing lines of the steel mills, they finally serve as lubricant in the press shops. A prerequisite for the suitability of a prelube-type oil is the absolute compatibility with all single processes from the coil to the Body in White. The use of prelubes in steel mills reduces the number and quantity of spot lubricants for additional press shop oiling dramatically. But their true benefits can only be fully achieved if the compatibility principle is applied throughout the manufacturing chain. Therefore, modem prelubes systems are modular, even different viscosities can be part of the same concept. This results in a far-reaching multifunctionality of the Anticorit prelube system for all applications.

In this paper, a LBCC (Latter Bank Cooling Control) for the high strength steel is proposed to obtain the desirable temperature and the property of the material along the longitudinal direction of the steel on the ROT (Run-Out Table) process. A cooling valve is modeled to analyze the response of the ROT banks. The control concept is derived from a field data, a valve model considering the valve response and a TTT (Time-Temperature Transformation) diagram. The proposed control is verified from the simulation results under the various carbon quantities. It is shown through the field test of the hot strip mill that the deviation of the CT (Coiling Temperature) is considerably decreased by the proposed temperature control.

본 논문에서는 열간압연 ROT 공정에서 고강도 내후성강을 대상으로 압연 강판의 길이방향의 온도와 재질을 제어하기 위하여 독립냉각제어(ICC) 라는 새로운 제어개념을 제안하였다. ROT 공정을 전단냉각 및 후단냉각으로 분리하였으며, 각각의 독립공정에 대하여 온도제어 모델을 개발하였다. ICC 제어는 열간압연 공장의 온라인 데이터, 제어상의 문제점 및 내후성강의 TTT 선도로부터 도출하였다. 제안된 ICC 제어의 알고리즘은 변태발열에 의한 온도 외란을 이용하여 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 열연공장에서 온라인으로 테스트 결과 강판의 온도제어 정도가 향상되었음을 입증하였다.

Recently, AC variable-speed motors are used for many steel rolling mill drive systems, because of their low maintenance and enhanced control performance. We have been applied GTO inverters for these AC motor drive systems since 1993. We have developed world largest 6-inch diameter GTO and large capacity 3-level GTO inverter up to 20000(kVA). As an example, in this paper, we describe the main circuit, system arrangement and control features of the 6-inches GTO inverters to drive rougher mills for hot strip mill of Pohang Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. The motor capacity is 6000(kW), and it's overload is 250(%).
