In this process, slabs whose surface scale share has been removed are made into rolled materials with the proper shape, thickness, and width. In the entry and exit area of the roughing mill, an edger rolls the strip in the width direction using an Automatic Width Control (AWC) system. 3. Finishing Rolling
Steelmaking continuous casting (SCC)—hot rolling (HR) is a key process in the production of steel products. It is also a process with large energy consumption. Energy saving has always been an important goal of production scheduling of this process. In this paper, aiming at integrated scheduling optimization for SCC-HR processes, energy saving objective is …
Hot Rolling Mill ... - Each defined technology must be able to decrease the energy intensity of the steel production process or can increase the productivity or quality of the products. - Project members analyzed the implemented technologies and ...
The rolling process is shown in Fig. 2.1: Rolling is done both hot and cold. It is accomplishes in rolling mills. A rolling mill is a complex machine having two or more working rollers, supporting rollers, roll stands, drive motor, reducing gear, flywheel, coupling gear etc. Rollers may be plain or grooved depends upon the shape of rolled product.

In the manufacturing and processing of metals, especially steel, tandem metal strip rolling is a critical process. Almost half of all finished steel products worldwide start in sheet or strip form produced using hot strip rolling processing—very often in a tandem hot strip finishing mill.
In the wet process and long dry process, all of the pyroprocessing activity occurs in the rotary kiln. Depending on the process type, kilns have length-to-diameter ratios in the range of 15:1 to 40:1. While some wet process kilns may be as long as 210 m (700 ft), many wet process kilns and all dry process kilns are shorter.
Hot rolling mill is one of the most important industrial processes because a huge material volume is worked. It is a complex process involving …
During the process of cross rolling the rolls are rotating in the same direction. The billet is fed in axial direction and it re-ceives the rotational movement contacting the rolls. The billet is retained in rolls by special device during the process of rolling and reducing by rolls. The sections being the bodies of revolu-
roughing- and Steckel mill. After the hot process the coil is annealed and pickled before any cold deformation. The first step in the cold process line is pre-rolling in a tandem mill and after this the strip is annealed once again until it is time for the intermediate rolling. In addition, the strips are grinded to remove oxides and other ...
Rolling is the most important metal forming process. More than 95% of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys are processed to their usable shapes by rolling. Usable shapes of rolled metals are plate, sheet, strip, foil, different sections like rail, beam, channel, angle, bar, rod, and seamless pipe, etc., as shown in Fig. 1.1 and Fig. 1.2.
presses in hot strip mill lines has become mainstream practice. This paper describes first the background to the introduction of press equipment, the production speed of which was a matter of concern, into the conventional hot strip mill lines that were mass-producing strips with rolling equipment (rolling mills) only. This paper then ...
process parameters in order to guarantee the required surface quality and maximal productivity. 2. The Evolution of Microstructure in the Hot Rolling Process The layout of the hot strip mill of voestalpine Stahl is shown in Fig. 1. Slabs are heated to rolling temperature in the reheating furnace, subsequently descaled and rolled
Rolling Process Definition. The rolling process is a metalworking operation in which metal strips pass through a set of rollers to reduce sheet thickness and achieve uniform thickness throughout the sheet. The sheet is deformed along the linear axis. Typically after the rolling, metal sheets go through annealing which is done under a closed environment of nitrogen.
Hot rolling of ferrous material into thin sheets was practiced in many continental countries, but was monopolized by Germany from the beginning of the (PDF) Modelling and control of a hot rolling mill,PDF In this paper, a real application of opti- mal control of a …

developing an extension of ultra-thin rolling control to roll thin hot strip in a finishing mill of a CSP line and in a conventional hot-strip mill. The goal is to achieve improved strip thickness performance and operational stability. Primetals Technologies has developed a new control concept for rolling ultra-thin hot-rolled
Hot Rolling • Ingots are reheated and bloomed to slab • Slabs are reheated and rolled to bar • Bar is fed directly to a hot rolling mill • Types of hot rolling mills – Continuous mill (hot strip mill) – Reversing mill – Steckel mill (reversing mill …
control at finishing mill alone is not sufficien t and must cover the cooling process as well. Kawasaki Steel recently established a hot strip mill rolling technology that assures excellent profile and flatness by installing a tapered-crown work-roll shifting mill (K-WRS mill), the company's own development, and HC (high crown control) mill at hot
CONTINOUS CASTING AND HOT ROLLING • Metal is melted, cast and hot rolled continuously through a series of rolling mills within the same process. 18. THREAD • Rolled threads are produced in a single pass at speeds far in excess of those used to cut threads. • Dies are pressed against the surface of cylindrical blank.
Hot Rolling Technology Rolling is classified according to the temperature of work piece rolled. If the temperature of the metal is above its recrystallization temperature, then the process is termed as hot rolling. For hot working processes, large deformation can be successively repeated, as the metal remains soft and ductile. The

updated equipment for the multi slitting process since the late eighties. This process is today world-wide known as the slit rolling technology. This technology as applied to bar mills enables the production of two or more bars from one billet. The slit rolling technology is a combination of spe-cial roll pass design with designated guide
Rolling mills are not a standard machine tool, nor are they built for stock. They are designed and built-to-order to specifically accomplish an end product or process. At one point during the industrial revolution in America, the United States led the world in hot and cold rolling, plate mills, slabbing mills and blooming mills.
Hot rolling mill is a process of changing the thickness of hot material, in cold roll forming machine we just forming room temperature material. Cold roll-forming is a process of forming metal from the sheet, strip or coiled stock into shapes of essentially uniform cross-section by feeding the strips through successive pairs of rolls arranged ...

Mill Section: To roll the hot blooms / billets / slabs etc. into desired shape by passing it between set of revolving rolls. The rolls may be plain or grooved rolls depending on product.

Hot rolling mills usually comprise the following process steps: conditioning of the input (scarfing, grinding); heating to rolling temperature; descaling; rolling (roughing including width reduction, rolling to final dimension and properties) and finishing (trimming, slitting, cutting).
Furthermore, the above-mentioned HC rolling mill was applied to the continuous hot strip rolling mills at first in the world and came to be able to control the crown–shape of the strip freely. Afterwards, a lot of the continuation technologies came to be put to practical use in the hot strip rolling process.
