The decrease in hot strength or even rolling load as strain increases in some stands of the finishing hot strip mill with no metallurgical reasons is a relatively common event. Apparently this fact is associated with modification in the tribological conditions between rolling stock and work roll surfaces due to unexpected interactions with scale. The aim of this work was to determine the values...

The continuous roll casting process (CRC), consisting of continuous strip casting between rolls, is now well known. It was introduced by the SCAL Company (Pechiney Ugine Kuhlmann Group) 60 years ago 1 . The process consists of solidifying aluminum or aluminum alloys between the water-cooled rolls of a duo rolling mill. From the moment when solidification is completed to the moment when the stri...

It has recently been shown that Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) techniques could be used to obtain nanostructured metal hydrides with enhanced hydrogen sorption properties. In this paper we review the different SPD techniques used on metal hydrides and present some specific cases of the effect of cold rolling on the hydrogen storage properties and crystal structure of various types of metal hy...

Plasticine strips are rolled between cylindrical rollers to model the phenomenon of material transfer in metal rolling. Strips of thin plastic film ‘clingfilm’) on the plasticine strip are used to model the oxide layer that covers the surface of aluminium. The effect of gaps opening up between he clingfilm strips is investigated. It is found that the percentage area of the exposed strip giving ...

JFE Steel Corporation’s East Japan Works (Chiba District) started operation of No.3 Hot Strip Mill in 1995. This line was the first in the world to achieve “endless hot strip rolling.” A new Coiler Control technology was developed. Copyright 2005 IFAC

In the cold rolling mill, coil breakage that generated in rolling process makes the various types of troubles such as the degradation of productivity and the damage of equipment. Recent researches were done by the mechanical analysis such as the analysis of roll chattering or strip inclining and the prevention of breakage that detects the crack of coil. But they could cover some kind of breakag...
