Knowledge of the position and the material conditions, e.g. the temperature, of the plates during hot rolling is important for process control. In fact, a precise material tracking system may help to prevent problems during the production process. This paper deals with the tracking of the rotation of heavy plates before and after the lateral expansion phase. The presented approach estimates the...

In this paper, properties of slab deformation in sizing press mill as one of the slab reduction processes in hot rolling mills have been evaluated using the elastoviscoplastic finite element method with explicit formulation. Effect of prarameters such as initial slab width and thickness, reduction, feed pitch, and anvil speed on factors such as dogbone formation, head and tail fishtail profile,...

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...

The work described here was largely performed at a medium-sized European steel mill, with an unusually diverse product portfolio, and hence a difficult scheduling problem to solve. The decision support system developed as a result has been successfully used, with minor modifications, at many steel mills worldwide. The work was carried out while the author was employed at A. I. Systems, Belgium,...

Mathematical model of rolling process is used at cold mill rolling on tandem mills in metallurgy. The model goal is to analyse rolling process according to process data measured on the mill and get immeasurable variables necessary for rolling control and optimal mill pre-set for next rolled coil. The values obtained by model are used as references for superimposed technology controllers (thickn...
