en.Wedoany.com Reported - "Metallurgical Process Informatics," co-authored by Professor Sun Yanguang, Deputy Chief Engineer of China Iron & Steel Research Institute Group (CISRI), and Academician Yin Ruiyu of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, was officially released on June 4, 2026, at the 2026 (4th) National Conference on Metallurgical Process Engineering in Wuhan. The book launch ceremony was a key segment of the conference, witnessed by over 200 experts and scholars from metallurgical enterprises, universities, and research institutes nationwide.
Academician Yin Ruiyu is a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Honorary President of the Central Iron and Steel Research Institute, former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, and the founder of metallurgical process engineering. Professor Sun Yanguang currently serves as Deputy Chief Engineer of CISRI, Vice President of the Automation Research and Design Institute of Metallurgical Industry, Director of the State Key Laboratory of Hybrid Process Industry Automation and Equipment Technology, and a doctoral supervisor. This book takes metallurgical process engineering as its physical framework, centering on the synergistic relationship among information flow, material flow, and energy flow, to construct a theoretical and methodological system for the intelligentization of process industries. Using informatics as a digital control tool, it studies the connotation, structure, simulation, and regulation mechanisms of process information, aiming at the "dynamic-orderly, collaborative-continuous" operational goals of metallurgical manufacturing, thereby building a cyber-physical integration system.
Metallurgical process engineering is a new branch of metallurgical science pioneered by Academician Yin Ruiyu with independent intellectual property rights in China. It breaks away from traditional unit process thinking, revealing the synergistic evolution laws of material flow, energy flow, and information flow in steel manufacturing from an engineering philosophy and systems perspective. It has become the core "operating system" supporting the green, low-carbon, and intelligent upgrade of the steel industry. From "Metallurgical Process Engineering," "Metallurgical Process Integration Theory and Methods," and "Metallurgical Process Science" to the newly released "Metallurgical Process Informatics," this series of works witnesses the continuous deepening of metallurgical process theory. Professor Sun Yanguang stated at the launch event that this book benefits from the process optimization and intelligent engineering practice of cyber-physical integration at the Tangsteel New Area, serving as an important pathway to understand and promote metallurgical process engineering. He also hopes that industry peers will actively offer suggestions for improvement to jointly and continuously refine this discipline.
Tian Zhiling, Executive Vice President of the Chinese Society for Metals, noted in his address that against the backdrop of the steel industry's push for intelligent, green, and integrated development, "Metallurgical Process Informatics" has emerged at the right time, providing strong theoretical guidance for the industry's transformation and development. Chen Zhuo, President of Metallurgical Industry Press, introduced that this book is a landmark work representing the deep cross-integration of metallurgical engineering and information science. It not only provides important reference materials for the fields of metallurgical engineering, information science, and control science but also offers profound insights for the intelligent development of the steel industry and various process manufacturing sectors.
The release of "Metallurgical Process Informatics" provides new theoretical support and practical ideas for the digital, intelligent, and green development of the metallurgical industry and process manufacturing, marking the entry of the metallurgical process engineering theoretical system into a new stage of cyber-physical integration.
