Application of vibration and sound signals in monitoring iron and steelmaking processes

Automation of the iron and steelmaking operations is an inevitable task to improve quality and to minimise cost. Recent studies showed that vibroacoustic-based monitoring techniques can be used to continuously monitor steelmaking processes. Various signal processing techniques have been used, including filtering and FFT, to process these signals into useful inputs for process control. In ironmaking, the acoustic noise has been studied to assess …
