1. Typical heating curve and its derivative curve for A356 alloy were measured and the relationship between fraction solid and temperature was calculated.

2. The result of strip steel heating curve coincides with technology requirement. It gives the possibility for predicting strip steel temperature and deciding annealing furnace temperature.

3. It was revealed by the experiment that the heating curve control affected the conversion rate largely, therefore it must be standardized and unified.

4. In this paper, the optimal heating curve of each slab in the furnace is determined by fuzzy system and then setpoint of furnace is calculated according to this optimal heating curve.

5. The result shows that a optimum strip(SPCC steel) heating curve and a furnace temperature curve be gained.

6. In the temperature span of the endothermic peak of the DSC heating curve, the average transformation rate is relatively large.

7. Owing to the existence of the latent heat, there will be an inflection on the heating curve, resulting in the formation of a step.

8. Different GT could be obtained by adjusting the concentration of poloxamer 407. Heating curve of gelation process was investigated by employing differential scanning calorimetery (DSC).

9. The SCC strategies under common dynamic operation and representative operation by a wide margin are useful for application on-line, studied in many aspects by heating curve method.
