Agenda


This webinar will provide solutions to the challenges facing steel plate producers in improving profit margins in the current market. Using real life examples from China Steel Corporation, the focus is on the application of hybrid plate cooling solutions that allow significant production cost reduction while also expanding the product mix to more value-added products with minimal capital investment. 

Here, hybrid plate cooling solutions is the integration of new MULPIC® (MULti Purpose Interrupted Cooling) technology, for accelerated cooling and direct quenching of steel plates, into existing plate cooling systems. Reducing alloy costs using water cooling during steel plate production is nothing new. However, even plate mills with existing accelerated cooling technology find there is significant scope to reduce costs further using the latest mechatronic and digital technologies.


Target audience

  • Plate mill managers
  • Plate mill maintenance managers
  • Plate mill process Engineers
  • Plate technology managers 
  • Plate R&D managers
  • Plate mill operations & plant managers

Key takeaways

  • Understand the range of challenges facing steel plate producers with and without accelerated cooling systems.
  • Learn how the use of low capital investment hybrid cooling solutions providing accelerated cooling and direct quenching can address these challenges.
  • See practical examples.
  • Learn about how the drive for digitalization has opened up new opportunities to lower the cost of production using accelerated cooling.
