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,...

rolling-based seismic isolation systems, in which rollers of circular or non-circular section are used, are less expensive and easier to manufacture. however, this type of isolation suffers from either lack of restoring or re-centering capability, or weakness against uplift forces. to resolve the first shortcoming the use of elliptical as well as pillow-shape rolling parts has been suggested, a...

Abstract Width-related defects are a common occurrence in the Hot Strip Mill process which can lead to extra processing, concessions, or scrapping. The detection and Root Cause Analysis of these is largely manual vulnerable several negative factors including human error, late feedback, knock-on effects successive steel strip products. Automated tools utilize Artificial Intelligence Machine Lear...

On multi-cage cold rolling mills combined with a continuous etching unit, self-oscillations can occur not only on the mill stands but also tensioning stations of unit. Fatigue cracks appear rollers tension stations, and characteristic defects surface polyurethane-coated roller. To measure self-oscillations, MEMS accelerometers are installed roller bearing supports. The collection vibrational da...
