Combined Chemical and Physical Activation of Blast‐Furnace Slag Using Lime Kiln Dust: Mechanisms and Performance Enhancement

Utilizing industrial by‐products as supplementary cementitious materials is an effective strategy for improving the sustainability of the construction industry. This study investigates a waste‐to‐waste approach in which lime kiln dust (LKD)—a fine particulate by‐product of lime c...

Preparation Process and Properties of Pellets from PFC1 Hematite Concentrate

The shortage of high-quality pellet feed has constrained the green transformation of blast furnaces, making it urgent to find economical alternative materials. This study investigated the effects of different blending ratios (0–30%) of Brazilian hematite concentrate PFC1 on the b...

A novel framework for distributed multi-output prediction tasks in rolling processes: A case study on cold rolling strip flatness

Strip flatness in tandem cold rolling is a distributed quality attribute characterized by a widthwise profile, whereas most data-driven predictors use only discrete process parameters and cannot accurately capture this spatially distributed target. Mechanism-based models can desc...
