Title of internship:

Optimization of dynamic soft reduction control model in continuously cast slab

Subject of the internship:

The quest for highly advanced steel quality satisfying customers’ stringent specifications is one of the most important commitments of ArcelorMittal group. In this context, several efforts are made to improve the internal soundness and structure of continuously cast steels. Advanced equipment such as dynamic soft reduction machines have been placed in industrial practice with top-level performance. This technology is usually applied at the final stage of solidification and has an obvious effect on internal quality and properties of slabs. It is based on both following the tracks of the solidification end point and adjusting the roll gap with the changing of solidification end point. The purpose of the internship is: - to optimize a dynamic soft reduction control model through a computational investigation of the effect of the model parameters on slab quality using industrial process data. - to propose modifications to fit model prediction with industrial results in terms of slab quality. The trainee will be integrated in a R&D team about 30 people (engineers + technicians). He / She will interact with ArcelorMittal plants in Europe and possibly with North and South America. He / She will also exchange with others R&D teams in France.
