This is to apply our mill models and mill knowledge in the daily operation of the steel plants, to improve productivity, yield and product quality, etc. It is under unique combination of the mill theory and mill practice. Examples of our consulting areas include:

• Mechanical properties improvement: such as increasing reductions in certain temperature range and application of roll bending schedules.

• Shape and yield improvement: change of mill operation to reduce all kinds of defects such as camber, hooking, edge wave, center buckle, missed slots, kinks, knuckles, etc.

• Productivity improvement: improvement of mill operation, such as decreasing the number of passes, slab line up and firing, flow analysis, etc. to increase productivity.

• Energy saving and cost reducing: such as improvement of reheating process, optimization of slab size and slab grade.
