A non‐iterative, finite element‐based inverse method for estimating surface heat flux
histories on thermally conducting bodies is developed. The technique, which accommodates …

Im**ement cooling is an important and new cooling technique used in the steel quenching
process. Unfortunately, little experimental data are available on the rate of heat extraction …

Monitoring and controlling flatness during the rolling process becomes critical for ensuring
the product quality. Flatness defects are due to highly three-dimensional phenomena …

In hot steel rolling the continuous exposure of metal to air produces a layer of oxide scale on
the surface of the steel. This layer of scale separates the work roll from the metal substrate …

A method for enhancing the stability of parabolic inverse heat conduction problems (IHCP) is
presented. The investigation extends recent work on non-iterative finite element-based IHCP …

Knowledge of the temperature field in the roll is a critical factor of modern, high-speed rolling
mills. In this paper, an inverse analytical method is developed to determine the temperature …

Mathematical model of direct and inverse problems is developed for the flat plate probe
which is subjected to timedependent heat flux at one end, while the other end is kept …

Controlled hot strip rolling is one of most important processes in the steel industry since
approximately 200 million metric tons of steel are hot-rolled to flat products with gauges from …

Accurate prediction and control of the steel plate temperature in the laminar cooling process
are very challenging. In this research, an experimental platform was built to measure the …

In the steel industry it is of great importance to be able to control the surface temperature and
heating or cooling rates during heat treatment processes. In this paper, a steel slab is heated …
