Objective In this pilot project, the capability, suitability and reliability of dynamic shape roll (DSR) in a hostile environment of the finishing section of a conventional hot steel strip mill will be tested. After the design, construction and installation of the DSR, tests will be carried out to define the control capabilities for product shape, profile and thickness. Results will also be used to fine tune the on-line and off-line process control models. Finally, the reliability of the whole unit, including lubrication and hydraulics will be evaluated.
