Abstract:The goals of modern steel enterprises are to make the material flow and energy flow short and effective and realize the maximum economic and environmental benefit. And the ironmaking/steelmaking interface technologies have a qualitative leap. Especially, the general layout pattern of the "one ladle mode" on the ironmaking/steelmaking interface directly affects the production process, the land occupation of the project, the project investment, the manufacturing management, the operating costs and the fixed number of post. The development history of the general layout pattern of the "one ladle mode" was introduced based on the typical cases of the current general layout pattern of the ironmaking/steelmaking interface in domestic, and the characteristics were comprehensively analysed and compared. Mastering the future develop trend of the general layout pattern of the "one ladle mode" can provide references for the general layout pattern of the "one ladle mode" on the ironmaking/steelmaking interface.
