Reduction of heat losses during hot rolling of long products

Seminar with TEAMS meeting

Sep 24th, 2024 – Sep 24th, 2024seminar in english

Hot rolling mills strive to produce as efficiently as possible. For this reason, hot rolling mills take high production costs into account. High heat losses during the whole hot rolling process play one major role. Heat losses are caused by heat sinks related e.g. to descaling, work roll cooling, cross sprays and conveyer rolls. The seminar gives an overview of proposing solutions that can be implemented with limited efforts in terms of design or process engineering to reduce heat losses and to increase their economic efficiency. They are mandatory for the future perspective to achieve better product quality, to improve work roll performance, to save energy costs and thus, to in-crease economic efficiency in hot rolling of long products.

Long Product Quality Optimisation through Enhancement and Utilisation of Residual Stress minimising Process Strategies

Seminar with TEAMS meeting

Oct 30th, 2024 – Oct 30th, 2024seminar in english

During rolling, straightening and thermal processing of long products internal stresses arise impairing the products materi-al properties and causing material distortion due to stress relief mechanisms. The characteristics of those effects are still associated with a high degree of uncertainty. The seminar gives an overview of the research work done and the resultant proposed solutions that can be implemented with limited ef-forts in terms of residual stress minimising process strategies to increase the economic efficiency and the future perspective to achieve better product quality in hot rolling of long products.
