Slabs are the feed material for hot strip mills or plate mills and blooms are rolled to billets in a billet mill or large sections in a structural mill. The output from a strip mill is coiled and, subsequently, used as the feed for a cold rolling mill or used directly by fabricators.
ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe spent a quarter of a million euros on renovating its hot-strip rolling mill in Duisburg. The animation shows how it all works.

principle, Steel industry, Tandem rolling mill, Looper control, Strip te nsion control. 1. INTRODUCTION In the metals industry, tandem hot strip rolling mills are used for rolling out thick semi- nished products, e.g., slabs, to thinner at products. The product, which is often referred to as strip, is clamped in each mill stand of
•Average strip width w –despite the fact that spreading, or an increase in width, may actually occur if edger mills are not used •Average true stress of the strip in the roll gap Y avg •Assumes no friction and thus predicts lower roll force than the actual value •Power per roll (SI units)= pFLN / …
The technologies incorporated in a modern hot strip mill to in improve the product quality are (i) automatic gauge control, (ii) automatic width control, (iii) work roll bending, (iv) continuous varying crown (CVC), (and v) roll …
The Hot Rolling Process The primary function of the Hot Strip Mill is to reheat semi-finished steel slabs of steel nearly to their melting point, then roll them thinner and longer through 12 successive rolling mill stands driven by motors totaling 77,000 hp, and finally coiling up the lengthened steel sheet for transport to the next process.
Rolling is most often, (particularly in the case of the conversion of an ingot or continuous casting), performed hot. At a rolling mill, blooms and slabs are further rolled down to intermediate parts such as plate, sheet, strip, coil, billets, bars and rods. Many of these products will be the starting material for subsequent manufacturing ...
Roll Forming. Roll forming involves bending a long strip of metal (usually coiled steel) that is passed through sets of rolls, with each performing an incremental part of the bend. The finished product is bent until the desired cross-section profile is reached. As you can see, cold rolled steel can be used in a lot of ways and in many industries.
Example for hot strip mill process Oxidation scale is removed Mill reverses after each pass (5 or 7) and the roll gap is reduced each time Slabs are organised according to rolling schedule Red hot slab 210 mm thick is ready for rolling Slab is reduced to a long strip approx 25 mm thick The strip is coiled and uncoiled to make ...

Quick Roll-Changing in Steel Strip Production. With a new technology Siemens makes the exchange of pinch rolls in hot strip mills faster. Siemens reported that they found a way to simplify the production of steel strips. The company told a new technology is making the exchange of pinch rolls in strip mills faster and even more efficient.
A simple roll deflection model has been developed to predict the deflection of the finishing stands of a hot strip mill. The roll deflection model indicates the effect of width for deflection as well as the effect of bending. The effect of work roll bending and the …
The work rolls of the four-high mill are driven while the back-up rolls are normally friction driven. The four-high roll configuration is used for rolling of plates and for hot rolling and cold rolling of steel strip. It is used both in the non-reversing and reversing rolling mills.
– Calculate roll separation force ("rolling force") and torque – Processing Limits – Calculate rolling power. Prof. Ramesh Singh, Notes by Dr. Singh/ Dr. Colton 13 Flat Rolling Analysis • Consider rolling of a flat plate in a 2-high rolling mill
In order to analyze the influence of technical parameters on work roll axial force of four-high continuous variable crown (CVC) mill, the deformation analyzing model with top roll system and strip was established based on influence function method. Then a CVC work roll curve designing scheme was proposed and it was carried out on some cold rolling mill considering the …
These rolls can either be flat or grooved (contoured) for the hot rolling of rods or shapes. Under these conditions, the rolls grip the piece of metal and deliver it, reduced in cross-sectional area and therefore, increased in length. x The initial hot-working operation for most steel products is done on the primary roughing mill
The Hot Strip Mill was restarted in July of 2018 under JSW management, and rolled purchased slabs to begin offering hot roll product into the market. The EAF/Slab caster was started up in December of 2018 and thus began to offer melted and manufactured in …
In rolling mills, intermediate steel products are given their final shape and dimension in a series of shaping and finishing operations. Most of the slabs are heated in reheating furnaces and rolled into final shape in hot– or cold–rolling or finishing mills. While some products (e.g. reinforcement bars, steel plates) only require hot-rolling, some others may require both hot– and cold ...
section. For hot rolled coil the mill supply upper limit is typically ½" in 20 feet. The second and third strip shape problems are; Edge Wave, deviation vertically from the horizontal plane (a sinusoidal wave) and Center Buckle, deviation of the center section of a strip from the horizontal plane of the strip edges.
Two-High: Generally, a 2-HI mill is used for hot or cold breakdown and finishing of bar, sheet or strip. A wide range of sizes with separating force capacities from 10,000 lbs. (4.53 MT) to over 3,000,000 lbs. (1360 MT) are available. Three-High: A 3-HI mill is an economic milling solution for the breakdown of rod and ingot. Four-High: A 4-HI mill may be used for finish rolling of thin …
The hot metal is converted into steel through a steelmaking process called the LD process. Flat Products: The steel is cast into slabs, which are then rolled into hot rolled coils in the Hot Strip Mill & Thin Slab Caster. Some of the hot rolled coils are further rolled into cold rolled and galvanisedcoils in the Cold Rolling Mill. Long Products:
The roll separating forces obtained in a single-stage pass of 55% reduction and two two-stage passes of 14/39% and 20/33.6% reduction are given in Figure 15.4, measured when rolling the softer AISI 1008, deep-drawing quality steel. Figures 15.2 and 15.4 are quite similar. The dynamic response of the mill is also similar to the previously observed behaviour.

Wherever you look, seamless steel tubes are an integral part of modern life. Today, the oil and gas industry, the construction and mechanical engineering industries, and automotive manufacturers demand ever better tubes made of higher steel grades, with closer tolerances and new dimensions.
Prevent insufficient height of checkered plate on the surface of hot rolled steel plate. Strictly engrave the pattern spokes, increase the rolling pressure, and change the spokes in time. The production process of hot-rolled steel and strip products is more complicated. In this process, it is very difficult to control product defects.
