Sinter ore is the main raw material for ironmaking, and burn-through point (BTP) is one of the significant factors to measure the stability of the sintering process. In this article, through the feature extraction of time-series trend, a fuzzy control strategy is presented for the BTP. First, the Hurst exponent of the time series for the BTP is calculated by resorting to the rescaled range analysis method, by which the trend feature is analyzed. Then, by using the Mann-Kendall test, both global and local trend feature variable of the time series for the BTP are extracted and regarded as the inputs of the fuzzy controller. Next, a fuzzy controller for the BTP is designed to produce the control quantity of the strand velocity. Finally, based on a semiphysical simulation system and the raw data collected from an iron and steel plant, an experiment is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
