With the development of ubiquitous information environment in metallurgical industry, driving type of metallurgical equipment systems is changing from energy-driven to information-driven. The problems of the metallurgical equipment information communication path intelligent planning are taken as the research object. Based on the cellular automata theory, the integrated framework of metallurgica...

They suggest that increased importance be attached to the pre-investment phase as a project will succeed, or fail, on the marketing, technical, financial and economic findings and their interpretation, particularly at this stage. The pre-investment phase comprises; ➤ Identification of investment opportunity ➤ Analysis of project alternatives ➤ Preliminary project selection ➤ Pre-feasibility and...

The PAQUES Bio Systems’ core technology, marketed under the name THIOPAQ, consists of various high-rate biological processes for metal-sulfur-water systems, complemented with common solid/liquid and gas separation steps. Sulfur species are converted to sulfide, which is a valuable component as it can be used for metals reduction and precipitation. Selective recovery of valuable metals can be em...

The process of metallurgical equipment information space is complex and diverse, including multi-level spatial information or spatial process factor. How to divide the metallurgical equipment information space, to plan its communication path intelligently and to enhance the level of intelligent equipment has become one of the metallurgical equipment systems’ problems needing to be resolved. Aim...

–Friction stir welding is a solid state welding technology used for welding low melting point metals, such as Al, Mg and its alloys. Later welding was conducted on dissimilar metals which also produced a better defect free joint. Tool design and welding parameters contributes a major role for producing a better weld. Material flow and friction heat are the factors that the internal factor for t...

Combining modern thermodynamics theory branches, including finite time thermodynamics or entropy generation minimization, constructal theory and entransy theory, with metallurgical process engineering, this paper provides a new exploration on generalized thermodynamic optimization theory for iron and steel production processes. The theoretical core is to thermodynamically optimize performances ...
