The cold rolling of flat metal products especially in tandem or multi-stand mills is a highly complex process where the product quality is influenced by various aspects. With the help of a hardware-in-the-loop simulator, the complete rolling process can be simulated and tested in real-time. This allows pre-commissioning and pre-optimizations before the actual commissioning work is done on the p...

This study examines the fatigue and anisotropy behaviour of cold rolled AA1200 aluminium alloy for light weight automotive connecting rod application. Aluminium (Al) 1200 ingots were melted at temperature of 680 0C (after one hour of heating) cast in sand mould and cast samples homogenized for 6 hrs at 480 0C. The cold rolling process was carried out after homogenisation for 10, 20, 30, 40 and ...

electrical steels are important alloys widely used in electrical instruments. the magnetic properties and low core loss of grain oriented silicon steels are closely related to the sharpness of goss texture ({110} ).the direction of is the softest direction for magnetism.  in this work, the microstructure and dependence of orientation density along the major texture fibers on the applied cold ro...

The paper shares experience gained in application of dynamic Bayesian approach to control problems in the field of metal rolling. The contribution introduces basic notions of theory applied and provides the algorithmic as well as application-oriented solutions developed. Specifically, the consistent use of the approach resulted in an advanced decision support system for operators of a reversing...

Heavily and simply cold-rolled Cu alloys with ultra-low stacking fault energy exhibit superior strength/ductility balance. The excellent mechanical properties are attained by the formation of a heterogeneous-nano (HN) structure consisting twin domains, shear bands, lamellar grains. In this study, using Cu–Zn system alloy, two specimens different initial textures were subjected to cold rolling. ...

Reaction of the airways to inhaled Berodual was evaluated in two groups of metallurgists surveilled by systematic, complex medical examinations for appx. 25 years: 31 coke oven and 31 cold-rolling mill workers. All subjects under examination were active smokers, smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day. The frequency of ventilatory disorders (central bronchi obturation, small bronchi obturation, a...
