Experimental methodology for tinplate rolling on a laboratory mill

Idea of the virtual rolling mill laboratory

Laboratory tests are crucial in education and training of engineers. Experimental equipment and process simulators are extremely expensive. It is not possible and justified economically to build such laboratories, for educational purposes, in large number of schools. On the other hand, education and training based on video films, etc., is not adequate and personal contact of students with a pro...

Experimental Research on Durability in Exploitation of Rolling Mill Rolls

Having in view the statistical data calculated for 10 years, the total consumption of rolling mill rolls represents 0 785...0 8 kg/tone of rolled steel. Nationwide, the 5 million tones steel being rolled every year represents a consumption of 4000 tones rolls, worth 6 million euro/year, which imposes large research with an important economic and scientific impact [1-6] It is noticeable that app...

Analysis Of Existing Rolling Mill With Prototype Soft Starting Arrangement Of Rolling Mill For Energy Conservation – An Experimental Approach

In this paper an analysis is done on the main drive of rolling mill which consumes about 60 to 70 % of total energy of the plant. The existing rolling mill in India are using the 3 phase induction motor and flywheel to drive the rolling mill. The electric motor transmits the power to flywheel with the help of V-belt. An attempt has made after analysis of existing mill that by using some soft st...

Rolling friction on a wheeled laboratory cart

A simple model is developed that predicts the coefficient of rolling friction for an undriven laboratory cart on a track that is approximately independent of the mass loaded onto the cart and of the angle of inclination of the track. The model includes both deformation of the wheels/track and frictional torque at the axles/bearings. The concept of rolling friction is contrasted with the static ...
