TY - GEN A1 - Hömberg, Dietmar A1 - Kern, Daniela T1 - The heat treatment of steel - A mathematical control problem N2 - The goal of this paper is to show how the heat treatment of steel can be modelled in terms of a mathematical optimal control problem. The approach is applied to laser surface hardening and the cooling of a steel slab including mechanical effects. Finally, it is shown how the results can be utilized in industrial practice by a coupling with machine-based control.
