Objective
In order to extend the range of size and gauge of structural H sections, which can be rectified by roller straightening and to reduce the need to gag press larger sections - a much slower rectification process - alternative methods of applying straightening loads are to be examined. The work will include mathematical modelling and pilot plant trials to test and optimise the straightening system, culminating in the demonstration of a full-scale production machine.
