HOT STEEL ROLLING - 3

An outline of machinery and equipment in longitudinal rolling.

Modern rolling mills for hot rolling of steel are highly automated production systems designed to convert reheated slabs, billets, or blooms into sheets, plates, bars, or structural sections. The present state of these mills is defined by advanced process control, real-time monitoring, improved roll-gap control, and computer-based models for temperature, thickness, shape, and microstructure prediction.
